Sometime ago I watched Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor), in Russia it beat both "SpiderMan 2" and "Lord of the rings 3".
I liked the film, though it's not "Matrix" or "Lord of the Rings", but there are scenes inspired by those movies, as well as "Blade" and "Prophecy". I would not call it truly original, but the story is an interesting take on war between good and evil. This film is definitely not your usual mystic thriller. But the ending was too sequel inspiring, as in too be continued. But then the movie is based on the first book from Lukyanenko's trilogy. All in all I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

PS: have you seen any Russian movies lately?
