Critic Reviews of "Eastern Promises"
I.E. WeeklyFebruary 22, 2008Despite Viggo's total gorgeousness, a nude fight-for-his-life in a steam room has all the titillation of a butcher throwing down a slab of meat.
Time OutOctober 24, 2007Slightly hesitant, slightly undercharacterised and gently compromising, hybrid: an oddly diplomatic, if often brutal, dip into the hellish demi-mondes lurking behind bouncer-guarded London doorways.
Orlando SentinelOctober 01, 2007It's just too bad Eastern Promises, on the whole, promises more than it delivers.
Miami HeraldSeptember 22, 2007Here is an excellent crime thriller made with grown-ups in mind.
Detroit NewsSeptember 21, 2007...manages to blend the clashing of cultures, family resentment, ugly heritage and the unlikely promise of new life without going in circles.
Detroit Free PressSeptember 21, 2007Eastern Promises is a straightforward, straight-up Russian gangster movie whose primary achievement is making the Russian gangster underworld feel exotic and menacing.
Digital SpyJuly 14, 2011Quite possibly the best film of the year, it is to be seen at all costs.
Suite101.comSeptember 25, 2010David Cronenberg's spin on "The Departed," in which lawmen and the lawless were similarly tested within an ethnic mafia's ranks. But where that became an overwrought bloodbath, "Promises" maintained a vicious focus on mob malevolence and personal peril.
FilmfestSeptember 02, 2010"It starts very well, and we're immediately drawn into this world of dead pregnant teens, the Russian mob, the hermeneutics of tattoos and the archetypal disappointment of a father with his son."
Matt's Movie ReviewsJuly 06, 2010A captivating and intimidating presence, Mortenson is simply striking in his consecutive Cronenberg film, playing the slick Russian mob figure who suffers from a crisis of conscience with equal parts calm and intensity.
DCistJune 10, 2010Clearly a companion piece to (and just as good as, if not better than) 2005's fantastic A History of Violence, Eastern Promises is all about blood, in the familial as well as the literal sense.
Times-PicayuneOctober 23, 2009Even if the frequently low-key plot suffers from the occasional sleepy stretch, Mortensen turns in a magnificent performance.
