Worth Your Valuable Time


What is Eastern Promises?
It is...
...the Russian mob slashing throats and stealing babies.
...the most brutal, nakedest, knife fight you've ever seen.
...scary old dudes ordering hits and talking about knee tattoos.
...Viggo Mortensen getting an Oscar nomination (mad deserved).
...Naomi Watts looking kind of dirty and tired, but still mega-babe.
...a block of ice that sits on your chest and makes you have bad dreams where you're being chased down dark alleys by men from a world you don't understand and that want to hurt you really bad with their shark mouths opening up wide to swallow you whole.
...the word "awesome," loaded into a shotgun, and then fired directly into your lousy, smiling face.
So check it out. I mean, if you like that sort of thing
(And if you don't, why are you here? Are you here because you brought me cake? I want some cake. Somebody bring me cake.)

It also is...

Prostitution and human trafficking!

I found the ending to be a little weak, but I agree it's definitely worth watching.

Did you catch Viggo in "A History Of Violence?"

Digital... Agreed, the ending was kind of "What?" instead of "Wow!" Still though, awesome. And yeah, History of Violence was off the chain.

Lioux... Yioux too, dude!

@Andrea: agreed. Viggo should've won a Best naked ninja knifefight in a sauna award.
