Night Watch (2004)

Anton has a moment of selfish abandon and his whole world turns to shit as a result. He gets thrown into the first ever big budget Russian fantasy film that's heavy on FX but also heavy on story. It's a highly original, perfect antidote to the Hollywood garbage we're spoon-fed annually.
There are two versions of the film. If you have the one with the crazy subtitles you have the International version. It has some new scenes and some scenes cut making it 10 minutes shorter than the original Russian version. Try and find the release that has both.
