Eastern Promises - Review



David Cronenberg strikes gold for the second feature in a row. Easter Promises is the follow up to A History of Violence (2005) and Viggo Mortenson could not have been better. Naomi Watts adds the right amount of class and beauty to a gritty ugly film. As Naomi Watts closes in on one of the Russian mob's dirty little secrets things get messy for everybody, with slashed throats to quench the deepest blood lusts. Eastern Promises is one of the best films of the year
