Day Watch

2006 Director Timur Bekmambetov

This is Bekmambetov's second and last installment of the ill fated trilogy.

Day Watch opens in the 14th century, when a Mongol warrior, acquires the "The Chalk of Destiny," that can be used to guide the course of history. Cut to today, the Day Watch and the Night Watch are ongoing. Two Warriors of Light, Anton and Svetlana, develop feelings for one another as they patrol the Night Watch together. As the story progresses, the pair must respond to a distress call from an octogenarian victim of a vampire attack committed by Anton's 12-year-old son. Anton must suddenly wrestle with two conflicting desires; the need to protect his offspring by destroying incriminating evidence, and his own desire to remain loyal to the Night Watch.

Several interesting concepts are explored notably body swapping and that there is no such thing as complete impartiality. This is a sequel worthy of the original. I hope that the concluding installment Twilight Watch is resurrected by the same director. Like Night Watch this film merits several viewings.,
