Eastern Promises Reviews
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Despite Viggo's total gorgeousness, a nude fight-for-his-life in a steam room has all the titillation of a butcher throwing down a slab of meat.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
It's just too bad Eastern Promises, on the whole, promises more than it delivers.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Here is an excellent crime thriller made with grown-ups in mind.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Eastern Promises is a straightforward, straight-up Russian gangster movie whose primary achievement is making the Russian gangster underworld feel exotic and menacing.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
...Eastern Promises is as honorable an entertainment as it is a humbling work of art.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Eastern Promises has a lot going for it, which makes it all the more disappointing when the story takes a fatal turn towards the end.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's Cronenberg's film, but it's the actors who elevate Eastern Promises from mere thriller to some other, more disturbing plane...
Detroit News
Tom Long
...manages to blend the clashing of cultures, family resentment, ugly heritage and the unlikely promise of new life without going in circles.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Cronenberg has become such an assured director that it's a pleasure to sit back and hand yourself over to his sick and singular vision.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Its subtextual currents are more compelling than the actual narrative itself, which never wholly coheres into something satisfyingly suspenseful.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
[A] chilly, masterful thriller.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
[Viggo Mortensen] lends a moral complexity to Eastern Promises that makes it much more than just a very accomplished action thriller.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The extras are all but perfunctory, but Kinos exquisite 4K transfer is easily the best that Eastern Promises has looked on home video to date.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Eastern Promises is a subtle and precisely calibrated work of astonishing cumulative power.
RogerEbert.com
Jim Emerson
Eastern Promises is shockingly gorgeous, for all the ugliness it portrays.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I cannot easily recommend these delights to everyone, but my high regard for Mr. Cronenberg's stylistic virtues remains largely undiminished.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
This is Mortensen and Cronenberg's second collaboration -- the first was A History of Violence -- and it's turning into a beautiful friendship.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A movie whose images and implications are likely to stay in your head for a long time.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
Suffice it to say it's a bit of primal brutality that lays bare the animal in each of us, fighting to survive.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
If you don't mind bloodshed and are drawn to taut thrillers with fascinating characters portrayed skillfully, Eastern Promises is just the ticket.
