Eastern Promises
SPOILER ALERT
So, last week I saw this in a screening and it was a bad attempt at a remake of The Departed, but with the Russian mob, underage prostitues, and Viggo Mortenson's goodies on display. The acting wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't good. There was completely unneccessary violence...i.e. the knife in the eye at the end of the steam room fight scene. The twist was predictable, and I picked up on it before the end of the first act/arc. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it; but, I clearly didn't enjoy it as much as the mostly Russian-speaking audience who laughed at the violence and gave knowing grunts or comments to each other at the mention of the mob.
