Just watched Eastern Promises (2007) directed by David Cronenberg. His 12th movie and the second one in his crime/drama phase. It’s a Russian mob drama starring Viggo Mortensen. It’s interesting to see it chronologically with the rest of his work. There’s definitely a parallel to be made with the story of an History of violence: some things are not as they seem. All the murder scenes and even the baby in the beginning of the movie: all Cronenberg’s special effects skills. Vincent Cassel is excellent as the boss’s son. He has some funny lines like this one: “This man was like brother to me. Now he’s like ice cream” 😂
I really like this movie. Watched it a few times before.
