Nochnye strazhi

I have seen better movies about vampires, this is not bad but it's too similar to Blade.

Personally I enjoyed the movie, it there were some times I just was little bored.

However I don't say don't watch the movie, because only losers say that. So watch the movie and judge by yourself.

As usual, it seems like either the reviewers APPEAR to be plants with their rather silly 10 star reviews, or someone comes along and completely trashes it.

Look, NO awards are gonna be won here, okay? I think anybody who is being honest will agree with that. But, with that said... for what it is, it's kind of fun. For me, this was actually the very first modern fully English dubbed Russian film with a mildly fun Mythology about vampires and government organizations to combat them, Ancient Covenants, etc... that I've seen. So, the novelty of that was kind of interesting. What we're talking about here is a HUGELY watered down sort of 'UNDERWORLD' but with government agents instead of Werewolves. Kind of... : ) Also, with about, oh... maybe 1/10 of 1% of the budget or depth. You probably get the idea...

It was fun... Somewhat amateurish, sure, but enjoyable. Everyone seemed to be putting in their best, such as it is, and that made it mildly entertaining IF your expectations are set VERY low.

Would I liked to have seen a film like this done with a LOT more money and better writing...? Sure... But, in my lowly and wretched opinion, compared to a LOT of the truly painful, UN-watchable stuff out there, I think this one gets a pass for being kind of fun, low-key, and yet still trying to be serious about it. This is not a Horror/Comedy. Also, FWIW, it is PG-13 friendly and still entertaining, which is bloody tough to do very well these days. So, even a passable effort along those lines is still quite a ways above the rest...

If you are looking for a serious & deep Sci Fi / Horror film, then yes, by all means look elsewhere. But, if you just wanna sit back and have a lightly entertaining time without a lot of excess, then, sure, you might actually have a bit of fun with this movie...

This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Vampires, machine guns and the desire to conquer the world, all together to have a banal but at least entertaining film, this film is the demonstration of how you can make a film without pretense just to entertain and nothing more. Already seen formula that blends horror with action with a touch of romance and in addition there are vampires who always add a slice of the public who watches many films with these creatures. The film is therefore not that great but at least it entertains and entertains enough, enough not to bore the viewer and for this reason in my opinion it deserves at least a passing grade.

Are you into Fantasy movies? With a darker tone and all that? Then you might be right here. This may be predictabel and full of cliches, but it still is able to entertain if you let it. I have been accused of being too nice to movies and I reckon you can say the same thing here. But since I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to certain types of movies, it is to be expected. This was decent overall, story and effects wise too.

Look, contrary to some other reviews, this movie didn't need a bigger budget. I can't count the number of movies that were ruined by big budgets, and we don't need any more of that. This film's VFX and action sequences were on point and extremely good. The film itself focuses on story and doesn't waste money on crap that would detract from the focus on the story. It packs a few surprises as well... at one point I found myself laughing for all the right reasons. Inventive and fresh.
