Eastern Promises (2007)

Directed by David Cronenberg

Coming on the heels of 2005's A History of Violence, Eastern Promises certainly feels like an apt follow-up for director David Cronenberg - as the film possesses a number of similarities to its forebearer, including an expectedly deliberate pace, shocking bursts of violence, and an absolutely compelling turn from star Viggo Mortensen. This time around, Mortensen steps into the shoes of a Russian mobster who must placate his sinister boss (Armin Mueller-Stahl) while ensuring the safety of a well-meaning midwife (Naomi Watts).

Great movie.
