  • can someone tell me bout the end..i dont understand 1 thing...viggo is still a cop or something like tht in this movie rite??but in the end of the movie..the baby got adopt n viggo sat in the restaurant ..i read in wikipedia (in german)tht he replaced semjon ....??!!! is viggo in the movie a real gangster or a cop undercover??

  • Hmm the final 5 seconds, is that sound effect from StarCraft?

  • @apnisse lots of sounds are sold to games and moves and arent necessarily copyrighted. if you listen in movies many lions/monsters/animals make similar growls and gates and doors make similar squeaks and opening noises

  • Mexican vs Russian Mafia, deadlist warrio!

  • It's such a bloody and horrible but also great movie

  • I knew that Strider was indeed one of the good guys, as it is hard to imagine King Elfstone as a base rapscallion; as for the movie itself: It stirs some suspicion against friendly old hosts, as one will start to assume that they are devils incarnate and the head of the local organized crime section; but the movie appears pretty realistic and sober, besides the initiation scene is a bit overdone; plus the story with the child and the nurse is a bit too romantic and melodramatic.

  • armin müller-stahl und viggo mortensen sind die perfekte besetzung für diesen film!

  • No mafia should be movied like they are cool or human. They are shit. hope they go hell.

  • Good Movie ofc... Cuz Viggo is in it Denmark ftw!

  • Mueller-Stahl is a great actor, but he speaks with a German accent here, which doesn`t really fit. Nevertheless, great movie.

  • Comment removed

  • I couldn't take the movie seriously after the naked fight.

  • Definitely one of my top five favorites. Powerful. A really sad look at the true evils of the Russian criminals. Vincent's performance was heart breaking especially at the end. Yeah, the ending wasn't very climactic, but I liked how it ended kind of with a whisper rather than a bang. I also hear that Cronenberg and Viggo are teaming up again for a sequel.

  • when is it out

  • lol like 2 years ago..

  • oh god vincent and viggo are so damn hot COME TO MAMMA BABIES!

  • the movie is great! although i didnt really understood it that well...too short and not a very good end..but great! viggo is awesome!!!

  • I haven't seen this movie, but I really wanna see it. Viggo is awesome ~_^

  • russian mafia is the future of london

  • @vanderkellen7 no blacks pakis indians and Islam is

  • Great Movie!! Viggo is a beast.

  • I loved this movie, although the ending was weak. But whoever created this trailer should be fired. It's craptacular.

  • this was a great movie loved it!!

  • great movie crapy ending

    aint cimatic

  • Люблю Кирилла!Он потрясающий!

  • good movie

    don't like the ending though

    it was kinda anit climxad

  • georgian vori v zakone were the best imo

  • JASTRABIE do pici ta ne no ne?haha samy kokot sama pica...jebat to kuruva

  • good

  • Viggo did a really good Russian accent! The whole movie was AMAZING. I loved it. As soon as it ended I put it on again..

    It was amazing. Definately saw alot in the Sauna scene too. Haha

  • yea Vincent did a good job 2

  • good movie very good

  • This movie was so sad!! It made me cry, especially when the 15 year old girl died, and when Kirill was gonna throw little Christina in the lake and started crying. I liked this movie.

  • russian mafia most dangerous in the world and when people say that italian is madest i laugh they are old school and time of italian mob is finished it was in 1980 when they been rolling but now they just a mafia eating spaghett and drinking wine =)

  • are you an idiot, first- the italian mafia has been responsible for some of the most heinous crimes the world has ever seen, both here and in italy. second- who care's? they are the scum of the earth, they ruin people's lives to make a few bucks. don't romanitcize these people, even in the movie, they reape a 14 yo girl and THATS cool, grow the fuck up. the real guys ARE NOT robin hoods, and they sure as shit ain't viggo mortenson

  • i didnt say the russian was the first =) bro you idiot =) show me the line where i said that ? =) im not saying anything about who was first i just say when italian mob finished doing hard shit and now just walking around and eat pasta =) i didnt say about the movie either =) if one guy phucked it doesnt mean that all others are the same =) so relax bro =) and read what i wrote and dont make up shit... so i dont have to comment again =) of you want lets go then =_)

  • @Frank5593 one question. have you ever been to vegas, and if so did you have a good time..you can thank the italian mob for that

  • @Frank5593 dude u are an idiot. u dont know how dangerous and fearsome russian mafia is. u dont know what those people can do. have u ever been in that country that u can talk shit like that? have u? well if u travel to ukraine or russia visit the 'underworld'. i doubt u will make it alive

  • @Frank5593 take it easy bro it's just a movie

  • @R3fLeCt3D lol mafia, italian or russian, or even asian - whichever race will never fall. When there is temptation/vices/corruptness any criminal figure will step in and provide. Don't let the media control what you think about "spaghetti and wine drinking"

  • I gotta admit that Viggo's Russian is the best I've heard so far.

  • Great film, terrible trailer.

  • yeah, I`ve had this movie for about a year on a DVD, but it has been a dust collector. The trailer never made me interested. Finally I decided to watch it, and boy, a very important subject and well executed presentation. Great film.

  • you wasted your time not watching the film!!

  • DO YOU MIND GIVING ME THE DVD NOW THAT YOU SAW IT? srry 4 the caps

  • you might have to kill people for the russian mafia !

  • Great movie!

  • mortensen is brilliant-brooding,deadly and tattooed to within an inch of his life

  • I rather liked this movie, i watched it last night.

  • does this sign he does in the end (fingers to throat) mean sth special ? (apart from "i will kill you" ? is it some kind of special mafia sign ?

  • nothing else...u will be dead

  • Ja, goeie film!

  • just saw this film on dvd and viggo was superb, sublime

  • best movie everrr!!

    lol viggo mortensen does good russian accent

  • 2:12 ,, it's so cool when he does that !

  • Heh,anybody who says this movie sucks,jus remember...you dont matter.What does matter is the awards and nominations the movie has earned.Like opinions on youtube really matter idiots.Your wasting your time talking shit about this movie cause it has clearly already earned great reviews.Me,on the other hand...im just stating fact(For all those who planned on throwing my earlier "opinion on youtube dont matter " thing back at me)Have a nice day being idiots.

  • why would I put myself through 2 hours of that torture?

  • i throught this movie was great one thing i hate is that ppl complain and think there tuff ova net hahaha losers. i hope there is a number 2 they left an opening at the end.

  • I agree, I enjoyed the movie, the ending left us all hanging, hope they do part 2. These Eastern European gangs are fckin nutters, on the other hand I watch all these Hollywood Italian mobster flicks (Sopranos etc) and just laugh because at the end of the day they are brought down because they rat on each other..Pathetic!

  • i want to be in number 2 :))) i havent saw the movie but i bet its great

  • I loved that movie, even if it isn't what I normally watch. Viggo is great (no he's not russian, but its a movie, guys) and did a good job at his role. Would love to see the sequel (coz it wouldnt make any sense if there wasn't one!)

  • Eastern Promises 2 would be amazing.  Loved Viggo in this.

  • You can't get it,can you? It's a fake movie about fake Russians.

  • you're kidding right? thats like saying "why do they make a movie about italian mob??" it's not a statement on the russian people as a whole obviously and anyone with a brain knows that.

  • I thought this movie was great and Cronenberg is one of the few directors who actually breaks away from the Hollywood formula. Sure there are capable Russian actors but the acting in this film was very convincing either way so does it matter?

  • I don't think it's a movie meant to deride Russians. It's supposed to be aimed at the Russian Mafia. The question is....is there one?

  • probably they are quite famous

  • Hahahaha that guy is funny. Ok so if Russians dont drink then how come they invented vodka hmm?

    and Viggo Mortensen can play whoever the hell he wants cause he is awesome like that

  • No,you are an idiot. Can you read? I said THEY DON'T DRINK LIKE THAT! If you making movie about Russians, watch some best russian movies or go to Russia to see HOW they drink.

  • Your an idiot warriormarko. Saying russians dont drink is like saying americans dont smoke and arent overweight

  • Bilibarda, you right.this movie is how West still imagines Russians.Russians don't act like that,dress, feel, speak or even drink.Viggo is a great actor, but he has nothing russian in him. Sorry, but Hollywood just fed you with another myth.

  • great twist on the typical mob-type movie. i speak polish and russian and I think Viggo did a fantastic job as Nikolai. He looks so Russian too, with that hair slicked back ! ooooh mama, I was so attracted to him lol.

  • Loved the movie...

    thought the end a bit strange... I guess I expected a conclusion to it, and there was none!...

    So maybe there will be an Eastern Promises2??

    Viggo did very good ;)

  • Great movie....I recommend History of Violence, same director and same actor.

  • i thought this movie was amazing...even tho the lead russian mobsters were played by an french actor and an american actor..they did a really good job "being Russian"

  • anybody mind telling me what it meant when viggo crossed his fingers across his neck. i wasnt sure if it was like "fuck you" or "im gonna kill you" or something along those lines.

  • I'm pretty sure it means "you're toast/finished" you could equate it with dragging a finger across your throat. He looks so intense doing it hey ! I love Viggo.

  • Haha...)) This movie is not about russians. It is about how Hollywood imagine russians.

  • this movie has nothing to do with hollywood

  • You mean it has nothing to do with russians?

  • No, I mean that Hollywood had nothing to do with this movie.. it's an independent movie

  • Excellent movie !! It was shown in a Festival here in Argentina, everyone loved it . I can not wait to the theater release.

    Well done Vigo!

  • Viggo was good, but the movie blew! Story builds up and a shower fight scene was the result? or saving the baby!?! waste of money and time. Not vig's fault, crappy story disappointing ending.

  • Definately a movie worth watching. I loved it

  • I do not think I have ever seen Viggo looking as sexy as he does in this movie. Yum.

  • yeay!!! I finally have seen this movie! I love it! =)) It is great! I am Russian-speaking person. So when I saw that in theatre there were no Russian subtitles when they spoke Russian... LOL a bit hard to understand but I have! =))) almoast everything LOL

  • One of the best movies i've ever seen... But a bit of the direct speech is russian so i just can understand a bit russian... i've seen the movie without subtitles... but anyway. Masterpiece

  • why is it called eastern promises?? please answer...anyway good movie!

  • im not sure but i watched it and i think its cos you know with human trafficking... how they promise the people a good life but force them into prostitution etc... yah well i guss its cos of that... ull understand it better if you watch the film

  • ...i watched it but i didn't understand it..also cos here in italy the title is quite different: "la promessa dell' assassino" / "killer's promises"...and i still haven't understood why it's called like this here...however i agree with u about the original title...bye!

  • cuz its the eastern hemisphere of the world .

  • Because its about human trafficking of Eastern European girls/women, who are promised a great future in the west and are brought in by these types of pimps/mobbs who deal in the sex and drug business. Its a play on words....."promising" "Eastern" women of a great life...etc etc etc..

  • one of the best gangster movies made

  • well you gals (and guys I suppose) who love Viggo get to see him in a 5 minute full frontal fight scene in a Turkish Bath... loved this movie btw

  • *gasp* Full frontal??? I need to rent this right now, this moment. Is it at Blockbuster yet?

  • Viggo Mortensen is lovely.. Looks like a really great movie.

  • And Viggo Mortensen is of course half danish.

  • Naomi Watts is a stunning english beauty!

  • She's AUSTRALIAN!!!

  • and....Nicole Kidmans' best friend.

  • Of course I knew that already.

  • Naomi Watts was born in Shoreham in England

    and moved to Australia when she was

    14 years old.

  • True....but she is an Aust. citizen and identifies as an Aust. Anyway, everyone here is from 'somewhere' else....maybe from further back in family, but still the only real Australians are the aboriginals. I'm probably from convict stock myself?

  • HaHa

    True!

    And don´t you forget it! ;)

    Like all white (and many of the none white)americans are from Europe originally and a mix between loads of nations here and else where. They seem to forget that sometimes.

  • Tight trailer, even tighter movie. And the fight scene is arguably the tightest action scene ever (slight exaggerations, but Cronenberg's newest is truly a great cinema experience).

  • saw this movie tonight, it's AWESOME! love russian prison tattoos, so brutal.

  • this film is amazing

    i shouldnt. but i do fancy viggo mortensen.

    agreed.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Viggo Mortensen = hottest old guy ever.

  • ATTN WELLINGTON: pick up a free double pass to see this on Wednesday the 24th from Rex Royale, Cosmic Corner, Starfish and the Active Towers with your 2007 ActiveCard!

  • russians..dey hella tight..d

    amma watch tis movie..

  • there isn't anything on your profile idiot. either show it, or shut up. your profile is empty.

  • Great flick. Hey chicks you might like the naked Viggo fight in the steam room. I still like "A History of Violence" better, but this one wil be part of my DVD collection when it comes out in that foremat.

  • hey guys...you might like the naked Viggo too!

  • i did =O i never thought i see thatd much of Viggo 0_o

  • SAME HERE!!!

    I closed my eyes and wanted to faint..i was sitting there going.

    " i love ya viggo but i don't want to see all that, I'M SCARRED!!!!!!"

    XD

    that will forever burn into my mind when i see him...

  • I saw this movie yesterday...It was an amazing movie but the preview misrepresentedit.

  • i agree with you

  • Well, that was probably Cronenberg's intent. I agree, though, that the movie was great.

  • I am going to see this tomorrow.
