| Synopsis:
Viggo Mortensen and Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts star in this electrifying thriller from critically acclaimed director David Cronenberg (A History of Violence). Criminal mastermind Nikolai (Mortensen) finds his ties to a notorious crime family shaken when he crosses paths with Anna (Watts), a midwife who has accidentally uncovered evidence against them. Their unusual relationship sets off an unstoppable chain of murder, mystery and deception in the explosive film critics are calling "provocative and engrossing" (Claudia Puig, USA Today). |

 Well Worth Your Time August 24, 2010
Joseph J. Finn (Chicago, IL USA)
A taut, intelligent and well-acted thriller all about identity and how far you're willing to go. Very well shot and directed with no padding, and action sequences that actually serve the plot instead of the other way around. Wonderful casting, and Armin Mueller-Stahl especially is simply fantastic as a far too helpful restaurant owner.
Great movie July 25, 2010

Movie with a surprise ending! Have watched it several times. Viggo Mortensen is great!

I am very disappointed. The actors give it their best but how could you possibly save an ill-constructed story line????? It looks as if David Cronenberg wanted different kind of scenes (violence, sex etc...) and sort of patched them up together. I felt bad for Vincent Cassel, his script was soooo silly. The story is filled with loopholes. One more thing : inserting violence and sex for no other reason than for the wow factor is pathetic. I really wanted to like the movie, I mean, I love Viggo Mortensen, I could forgive him practically anything but geez!!! this movie is bad.

Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Eastern Promises is a very good film, I think cronenberg finally did a good job with a film for once,with the exception of the male nudity fight scene I enjoyed the movie and it's portrayal of Organized Crime.It has great acting and moments.It's worth watching.
