Uzbeks are probably not very happy with Bekmambetov. The second movie has a Tamerlaine segment in which he speaks Kazakh. Uzbeks are probably not very happy with Bekmambetov.

I second Nathan's suggestion that you give it a shot even if it's not the kind of movie you would usually go to. I have never been interested in Hollywood movies of that particular genre, but Nochnoi Dozor is so Russian, so different than our movies. If for nothing else, see it for the incredible film shots of Moscow at night and the awesome cast that it features... I really like Habenskii (the actor in the lead role) and this movie made him pretty much the hottest young actor in Russian cinema (if you can find it, Bednie Rodstvenniki is a really interesting Russian take on something very similar to "Everything is Illuminated"). If for no other reason, if you're interested in the culture of the 30 and under generation in the entire Russian speaking world, you pretty much have to watch this movie because as far as I can tell everyone in that demographic has seen it.
