Eastern Promises

The Mikes are running afoul of the Russian mob as they check out David Cronenberg's 2007 crime film, Eastern Promises, starring Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts.

Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss the how underrated both Mortensen and Cronenberg are in terms of general audiences, the infamous bathhouse fight, and what worked and what didn't in terms of the story such as choices that Watt's character makes and if the film goes far enough in terms of the violence for a film directed by Cronenberg.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
