This is a Russian fantasy film sequel to Night Watch, and based on a trilogy of books. Sadly, they ran out of money so Twilight Watch probably will never get made. That's okay, though, because the end of this one could serve as a series ending.Anton (Kontantin Khabenskiy) is now a Light mentor to Sveta (Mariya Poroshina). His son, Yegor (Dimitriy Martynov), is being raised in the Dark by Zavulon (Viktor Verzhbitskiy). When a member of the Dark is murdered, evidence points toward Anton as the killer, threatening the fragile truce. He must find a way to clear his name, protect Sveta, and still try and have a relationship with his son. To do all of this, he must find the Chalk of Fate, a mythic artifact rumored to have been owned by Tamerlane himself.
I found this one to be a much more accessible story than the first, which just kind of dumped you into this world. Maybe because there was less shapeshifting going on. I would still recommend this pair of films to anyone, just because I think it's important to showcase fantasy and myths from other countries without an American filter. Sometimes things get a little lost in translation.
