Eastern Promises: Review By Gooberheadgirl

Cronenberg delivers the goods with Eastern Promises. A well researched and finely executed film revolving around the Russian mafia. The pace of the film, along with Cronenberg's direction was just perfect. The script is brilliantly written. Viggo Mortensen is stellar as Nikolai (no elaboration as I don't want to include any spoilers). The Oscar nomination was well deserved. The supporting cast was excellent as well. The film should have received an Oscar nod for best picture.
