Eastern Promises
June 22, 2008I am not much of a critic about anything. Regardless I’d like to jot down my simple considerations about movies that are different enough to make me go “HUH.”
My preconceptions led me to think of this movie as another mobster action movie. I was wrong. I am not going to spoil the movie, but the plot was unpredictable. The pace of the movie was quite slow. During the movie I kept thinking when things are going to happen, but when the movie ended everything seemed appropriate for this movie. I realize the movie is not shown in the theaters anymore, but if it were, I’d still suggest watching it on DVD. Not because the movie is not worth it, but because I feel it is the kind of movie that needs to connect with the viewer in a more personal setting! That is just what I think. I recommend watching it.
