Review of Eastern Promises (2007) by Chad — 02 Jan 2008
I really enjoyed this movie. I was a little nervous coming in to watch it because I thought cronenberg's last movie, a history of violence, was a complete and utter waste of time and had way too much pointless sex and violence, however eastern promises seemed like a more interesting and story driven movie and I think naomi is a great actress so I bought the dvd and was extremely happy with my purchase.
the acting is extremely good all around, but most notably cassel playing kirill was the best. the story was interesting and never bored me. The directing was good and there was never a dull camera angle.
Overall this is my favorite mob/gangster movie. It definitely beats out goodfellas, casino, and the godfather.
