Eastern Promises
There are few directors working whose films you can look at and almost immediately say “so and so directed this”. David Cronenberg is one of the few. His preoccupations have stayed strong throughout his career and his long history of working with the same collaborators film after film gives his work a distinctive look and feel.
Eastern Promises, like A History of Violence before it doesn’t look, at first glance, particularly Cronenbergian yet scratch the rather generic surface and you’ll find a film that is not just unmistakably David Cronenberg’s work but one that is unmistakably some of his best work.

Eastern Promises A brutal tale of Russian gangsters, murder and sexual slavery in East London. Directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts
Director David Cronenberg has long been slated to adapt Martin Amis's novel 'London Fields', a tale of sexual obsession, imminent apocalypse and darts set in West London and not in the area of east London known as London Fields from which it takes its title. Ironically the film Cronenberg has made in lieu of the Amis adaptation, Eastern Promises, is set in London Fields, a patch of parkland in Hackney which abuts Broadway Market. It is down that market where the opening brutal execution of this underwor...

More of a drama than a mystery/thriller. Movie and story was good, acting was great but it was a bit slow. There were a couple of action scenes in the movie. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a good drama with a hint of thrill to it.
This movie was dry and small budget. I think there should have been more surrounding the diary and the baby. Need further action going on from the Russian mafia. The weakling son acted way over the top and not likely to be of a powerful family. The cast was pretty good so I expected more from this film since all things I heard from people. Some of the scenes that demanded a tense approach were irritatingly comfortable. I guess flicks with a rape scene constitute a great movie. (Oh and to walk in a hospital and just walk out with a baby is retarded scripting in my opinion) The Russian accent could have been better. I know Russians and they have a peculiar way of speaking that is firm and undulating not as fluid as in this film.
3/5 for being tolerable (b/c of the Cast) the story was decent but don’t expect to be taken away or even to dwell on any edgy moments.
