All that stands between light and darkness - proclaims the poster for this interminable techno-futurist fantasy - is the Night Watch! This is incorrect. For me, all that stood between light and darkness were two pitifully thin matchsticks, propped between two sets of upper and lower eyelids. It has been a big hit in its Russian homeland and audiences there apparently thrilled to its pre-pube swords'n'sorcery videogame-aesthetic, its sub-Constantine design, its deafening Luc Besson action sequences, and its funkily designed English subtitles, a bit like in Tony Scott's Man on Fire - all made with a stunning absence of style.

I think I would rather live on the planet Pluto while this film was playing, and I can't think of a film which is so militant and self-congratulatory in its dullness. The plot is ... oh please. There isn't one. You can go and see this if you really feel like it. Or you can pay someone in dark glasses and a leather trenchcoat to hit you over the head with a frying pan for a couple of hours with death metal playing in the background.
