Try Sergei Lukyanenko (multiple spellings). Most of his works are not translated in English (German has many more), but at least the Night Watch and Day Watch are. They were both made into movies too, though the movies absolutely sucked comparing to the books.
There is a great sci-fi/fantasy series of novels I can recommend if you're interested in this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_%28Russian_novel%29
In the second book (Day Watch), the story is continued from the point of view of the "bad guys" from the first book, and the reader slowly understands that it's not simple good/evil, all characters have their own complex emotions and motivations.
Warning however - skip the movie, it really really sucked.
