Nochnoj Dozor (aka Night Watch)

In Nochnoj Dozor, Timur Bekmambetov juggles media with fantastic ease. Over the course of the movie, we see an animation sequence, ballet and a computer game — and all of them are essential.

The genre laws are not so much broken, as ignored. The distinction between the good guys and the bad guys, already ambiguous in the book, is further blurred in the screenplay.

I give it 4 stars. But I've read the book, and I get most of the cultural references.
