Eastern Promises

David Cronenberg digs deeper into the history of violence in this menacing thriller about the Russian Mafia in London. The first rate cast including Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts elevate the film to a higher ground. It's an intimate portrait that's concise and fresh in a genre that has been exploited more than others. The script is by Stephen Knight who brought us the fantastic "Dirty Pretty Things". His tales takes place in the dark side of the society that most people would prefer to ignore. YRCinema's current releases.
