Eastern Promises. 2007.
A midwife tries to find out what happened to a girl who died giving birth while looking for clues in a diary that she finds and leads her to think a Russian family is involved.
This was something different from David Cronenberg, A History Of Violence showed us that he can direct a action thriller type film, this is more crime thriller that basically doesn't slow down or drag on in any places. Naomi Watts plays the midwife who seeks answers for a orphan child and doesn't like what she finds. Viggo Motensen plays the driver of Vincent Cassel and seems to leave clues about. Cassel plays the son of old school russian mobster and can be ruthless but shows how sensitive he can be towards the end. Decently made and certainly enjoyable.
