I don't agree with many others. This is the best I've seen in months (we go every Tuesday). Doesn't drag like the "Kingdom", Better acting and more... uspense than "In the Valley of Elam" which was political in purpose. Much more realistic than "3:10 to Yuma." A unique view into a world with which we are not familiar. I wouldn't have missed it. Full Review

Movie was ok at best. The producers really tried to push the whole over the top violence to i guess get the movie talked about but instead was just... ediculious, borderline amusing. The audiece even laughed from time to time. They really pushed the whole russian thing. everything the actors said they would repeat "in russian we say...". The audience gets it! but instead they were ocnstantly bombarded with over extensive russian customs/practices/ceremonies. Full Review

CRONENBERG AND MORTENSEN. WHAT A TEAM!. BOTH BRING OUT THE BEST OF EACH OTHER, AND THEIR CAST MATES. EACH ACTOR PORTRAYED THEIR CHARACTER TO THE... S!! EACH CHARACTER IS AN IMPORTANT FACETT TO THIS FILM. GREAT WRITING ALSO. I TRUELY ENJOYED THIS FILM. BRAVO TO ALL THE ACTORS! IT ALL WORKS SO WELL. THIS MOVIE DRAWS YOU IN AND MAKES YOU WANT MORE. YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT A WINNER HERE. IT NEEDS A SEQUEL.WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHEN IS THE 2ND INSTALLMENT OF EASTERN PROMISES COMING OUT? THERE IS SO MUCH THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE CHARACTERS THAT ARE LEFT. Full Review

to go see this movie...the trailer was great and I liked the actors in it. Seeing it was a major disappointment. Best advice to anyone wanting to go... see it....stay home and watch the trailer about 50 times. The first 45 minutes the scenes felt so 'set up' you can almost hear the director yelling "roll 'em!" Little substance to a storyline that often delved into bad taste and tried to induce shock factor to sell itself. Viggo was very good though....so that was nice to where I didn't feel totally riped off. Full Review

The actors and the characters merge and form a reality above and apart from the story, and the result is a film that takes us beyond crime and London and the Russian mafia and into the mystifying realms of human nature.Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter
The rigor of Mr. Cronenberg's direction sometimes seems at odds with the humanism of Mr. Knight's script, but more often the director's ruthless formal command rescues the story from its maudlin impulses. Mr. Knight aims earnestly for your heartstrings, but Mr. Cronenberg insists on getting under your skin. The result is a movie whose images and implications are likely to stay in your head for a long time.Full Review
