I just finished Eastern Promises and thoroughly enjoyed it but then again I like pretty much anything that has to do with the mob,no matter what country.I thought the acting was great and the story good as well.Granted,it wasn't your normal mob story but the topic of human trafficking is one that I don't recall seeing much if at all.

The bonus features on the DVD were interesting as well as they did a segment on the tattoos worn by the mobsters and Cronenberg was also saying how Viggo Mortensen was such a perfectionist that he had traveled to Russia and literally hung with some guys like his character and based on some Russians seeing his performance had nailed the walk,mannerisms and accent.

I actually bought the film at Hastings for like $6 and damn glad I have it as part of my collection now.
