My family and I enjoyed Lockout (2012), starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace (although her character was a nag). It reminded me of Escape from New York set in outer space, but Luc Besson is credited for the original idea. For me, it was a special treat to see Lennie James again. I love that guy!
I read about Sergey Lukyanenko's Night Watch series of novels at amazon.com. The novels are a huge hit in Russia and worldwide. He's written four so far. According to fans, the movies, Night Watch (2004) and Day Watch (2006) cover the first book.
We watched the movies. The first was mesmerizing. It was a highly interesting premise, and beautifully filmed. We enjoyed the stunts too. We enjoyed the second movie, too, and the outcome. I loved it that they were filmed in Russia. It was great to see a bit of their cars, freeways, hotels, restaurants, parks, and such.
