Eastern Promises
didnt see a thread on this movie. i saw it last night and really enjoyed it. critics said it was a bit slow, i disagree. i thought it was well paced. the fight scene of viggo in the steam room was sick.
anyone else see this movie? |

Re: Eastern Promises
you just went to see it because of the Viggo frontal male nudity right?
This is definitely one I'm going to see soon. Talk about not getting pinned down by a role (LOTR). |

Re: Eastern Promises
There's some discussion of it (and probably more to come as more people see it) in this thread in the EDF: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...umber=12108482

Re: Eastern Promises
David Cronenberg being the director makes it hard not to see this one. Even though his movies don't always work for me, he's the kind of guy who can be full of surprises and do great stuff.
Mortensen's second role with this guy. Maybe these two will go on to do lots of good things, each helping the other out. They're probably an ideal partnership in some ways. |

Re: Eastern Promises
I thought it was really good. I have no idea what a sliced open throat looks like and how the movie showed it looked entirely possible to me. I also dont know any Russians, therefore am unable to distinguish a real accent from a fake one, so no problems there for me either.
Viggo is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. |

Re: Eastern Promises
How did it compare to "A History of Violence" Cronenburg and Mortenson's previous project?

Re: Eastern Promises
I thought it was about as good as AHOV. I found the special effects believable, but then again I don't know what cutting a frozen finger really looks like.
Did anyone else think that Viggo in full shades-and-suit getup looked an awful lot like Ed Harris' character from AHOV? Same smirk, same weathered face. |

Re: Eastern Promises
OK, the resemblance isn't as strong as I thought, but I think they're wearing the same shades:
Same sucked in expression: Similar smirk: Meh, whatever. |
