Directed by: David
Cronenberg
Starring: Viggo
Mortensen, Naomi Watts, and Vincent Cassel
Nikolai Luzhin (Viggo Mortensen) is a driver for a famous Russian
mob family. Anna Khitrova (Naomi Watts)
is a midwife in a London hospital who comes across a newborn baby of her recently
deceased teenage mother. Their worlds
collide when Anna attempts to track down the mother’s family and finds tragic ties
to the Russian mafia. Anybody who wants
to check out a good mob flick needs to see this film. Eastern
Promises is definitely one of the most vicious and violent films I’ve ever
seen. If you decide to imbibe a little
alcohol during this film, the brutality will sober you right up. If you’re looking for a quick crime film,
this is your pick because Eastern
Promises clocks in at about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
