The listing, DVD "EASTERN PROMISES" (WIDESCREEN EDITION 2007) has ended.
Both the DVD & its case are like new. The DVD has no scratches that I couild see & plays perfectly.
Near Christmastime in London, a baby is born to a teenage junkie--an event that leads a midwife (Naomi Watts) into the world of the Russian mob. Central to this world is an ambitious enforcer (Viggo Mortensen) who's lately buddied up with the reckless son (Vincent Cassel) of a mob boss (Armin Mueller-Stahl). Criminal mastermind Nikolai (Mortensen) finds his ties to the notorious crime family shaken when he crosses paths with Anna (Watts), who has accidentally uncovered evidence against them. Their unusual relationship sets off an unstoppable chain of murder, mystery and deception.
This film is terrific! Eastern Promises has a furtive humor, nicely conveyed in Viggo Mortensen's highly original performance. Covered in tattoos, his body a scroll depicting his personal history of violence, Mortensen conveys a subtle blend of resolve and lost-ness. He's a true, haunting mystery man.
BONUS FEATURES: "Secrets & Stories" - shows how director David Cronenberg brought the screenplay to life in the dark & forbidding streets of London. ; "Marked For Life" - Cronenberg reveals the hidden history behind Russian tattoos as well as their complex symbolism and unique visual storytelling.
