Review of Eastern Promises (2007) by Jaym. — 15 Apr 2008
In Viggo Mortensen, David Cronenberg has found the perfect collaborator- not since James Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock has a director and star so perfectly aligned to make such thrilling entertainments.
On the heels of the perfectly realized A History of Violence, Eastern Promises more than delivers as a new take on the gangster genre. This is sumptuous, elegant filmmaking on the highest level, encompassing all that one can ask of cinema.
