Eastern Promises: A History of Violence, Part 2

51nhwatqbl_ss500_hoiuh

Consider that both films star Viggo Mortensen and were directed by David Cronenberg.

This one is very bloody, vicious and downright terrifying in parts, in no small part because of the frighteningly intense, realistic portraits of Russian mafiya members played by Mortensen and Vincent Cassel.

Having said that, it's a wonderful film, twisty and graced with impeccable performances by Naomi Watts and Armin Mueller-Stahl.

This is the first HD movie I've ever watched on a full 1080p 16:9 plasma display — but it won't be the last.

Movie theaters are in big, big trouble.
