Eastern Promises review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/02/12
Russian "cleaner" Nikolai Luzhin (Viggo Mortensen) gets an important diary from Anna Khitrova (Naomi Watts), a British-Russian midwife at a London hospital. Had some realistic fight scenes and twists in the story. Mortensen shows a remarkable performance and Watts was solid. Only reservations this reviewer had was the conclusion and lack of better action from the lead. Eastern Promises is a gripping drama about the Russian mob.
