Eastern Promises (1 Viewer)

[Combat]

A very good film that is now playing on Cinemax. It has been out on DVD for a while in the US. If you like the Sopranoes, you will probably like this one. Russian mafia in London. Great acting. The story fizzles out a bit, but otherwise almost as good as "No Country for Old Men."

I really enjoyed No Country for Old Men, especially the way the director ended the movie.

I had such high expectations for this movie. It starts out good but like you said the ending kinda "fizzles out". I didn't like the ending at all and I walked away from it wanting to see alot more.

This movie was really good. My father-in-law told me about it and I kinda put it on the back burner to watch. When I finally watched it I was surprised how good it was.

I actually though No Country for Old Men ok (well acted, obviously) but not an earth shaker. On the other hand, I thought Eastern Promises was excellent, with great insight into the Russian mafia. These are people you don't want to cross. Make the Cosa Nostra look like tame by comparison.

I guess I'm just a little biased since I have seen alot and know alot about how criminal and terror organizations work. This movie had so much potential and I just thought it fell a little short. There is so much that could have been added that could have taken this movie from being a good movie to an excellent one. Don't get me wrong I liked it but one time is enough. With that said "No country for Old Men" was the same, I liked it but once was enough. I probably took it a little to far in my earlier post it was good not "really good."
