Review of Eastern Promises (2007) by Juanpablo M — 28 Dec 2011
Viggo Mortensen gives his best performance to date in this film as he really carries this movie. Director David Cronenberg teams up again with Viggo after A History of Violence which I thought was also a great film.
This film is equally as great thanks to Viggo�´s performance. The sauna scene is one of the most violent ones I have seen, very shocking. The story is also great and I loved the abrupt ending. Viggo got a well deserved Oscar nomination for this one, but will it be enough too top Daniel Day Lewis for There Will Be Blood? Probably not, but it was a great performance none the less.
Overall great film!
