Eastern Promises is a further proof David Cronenberg is one of the last classic film-makers left. At the same time, he is a modernist. The combination, in the dark London he created, is a moral tale which makes you think of Dostoievsky. It's a story of crime and redemption with an unusual (hidden) tenderness. At the same time, it is a very serious trip into the rites of a secret society as we can see more and more in our big cities. A criminal secret society.
Cronenberg (and his friend Peter Suschistky) have created another universe that seems another version of ours. As usual it is a mental one, but so close to what we call "reality" that it makes you uncomfortable and eventually horrified. The cast is fantastic and the script is brilliant.
yep.. if you like Cronenberg movies .. it's very good.
Yeah, Viggo Mortensen's best role. Watch it and be thrilled!
It was great.
It was pretty deep though so it's not exactly lighthearted or funny.
Oh, and if Viggo Morteson is your 'thing' then you're in for a treat. He's totally nude in a scene of this film--totally!
I thought it was a very good movie
i thought it was good. it's worth watching.
It's a good one so far
yes it's good film..
the movie starts out slow but keeps you interested. characters that seem simple ....gradually become more complex as the movie goes along..
so if you like cronenberg films you'll like this one.
the one and only thing i didn't like was the ending -i wont go into it-but your left with a feelin' of......... "incomplete"
not as good as say 'a history of violence' but good
