My Review-
I always kept hearing from people to watch this movie, and now that I finally did, it was really good and Viggo Mortensen was freaking amazing. Well for a while this movie was a tad bit confusing than I got the hang of and was able to follow it and man was it good. What really had me with this movie was how great the Russian accents were in the movie even if they were hard to follow at times. This was also probably the first movie I have seen where the Russians were the mobsters, its usually Japanese or Italian, so it was cool to see something different. Also liked how there was little violence in the movie, even though they were mafia, it was mostly story with no violence, and it was only used when it was needed, which is great for these types of films. Even though it was really slow at times I still really enjoyed it, I kinda enjoyed more than Eastern Promises which Cronenberg also directed. This one of Viggo's movies that should not be missed since it is one of his best since the Lord of the Ring Trilogy.
