For a career as far along as David Cronenberg's, Eastern Promises is the kind of mature switch-up that suggests longevity far beyond what one would have even expected from an already accomplished director. It brings to mind the directing work of Clint Eastwood, actually: someone known primarily for blunt takes on genre finding new and deeper furrows by expanding that genre base and getting serious about it. It'll be interested to see what Cronenberg does next, but regardless of his future, Eastern Promises has given him a present that is no less than exceptional.
Ja udmærket film og uden at afsløre noget af filmens afsluttende slåskamp, vil jeg vove at påstå at Viggo Mortensen er filmbranchens absolut modigste superstar ;)
Spændende. Jeg havde ikke de største forventninger til denne film, men hvad jeg hører om den indtil videre virker lovende. Selv de negative anmeldelser får filmen til at virke som en must-see oplevelse.

Eastern Promises is a straighter version of Inland Empire, which is not to say that it isn't totally queer :D
Ser frem til denne!
