The Critic Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I saw "Eastern Promises" last night. It was solid. Interesting movie about the Russian mob in London, starring Viggo Mortensen. There were a couple pretty brutal killing scenes, but it's mostly a plot-driven movie, which I always prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read the book, and being an outdoorsman, I will probably see this movie, and probably hate it. The moral of the story, really, is that that kid was very, very, very stupid. The book does understand that. But I somehow see this movie trying to somehow make his "journey" into something accidental or even heroic. I hope I'm wrong.

longshot7 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 QUOTE(Soxy @ Sep 27, 2007 -> 08:31 AM) Liking Hitchcock is a watermark for a successful relationship. Don't like him? Sorry, not going to work. She likes the other ones (North by Northwest, Man Who Knew, Rebecca, Marnie, etc) but doesnt get Vertigo. It does require a suspension of disbelief, but then again, what movie doesn't? My thesis film for film school was a sort of Vertigo in high school. She liked that, but then again, she's biased. Saw a great old noir film btw last week called Criss Cross. anyone ever see that movie? Burt Lancaster, armored truck robbery goes wrong, great film.

Sure the kid did some reckless things and made stupid mistakes, but was his pursuit and search for whatever he was searching for stupid? If the film makes the same point that he was a very, very, very stupid kid, will you find the film more enjoyable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that needs to be one of the messages, yes, in order for the movie to be faithful to the material. It doesn't have to be THE point, as there are certainly other themes present, as you point out. My fear is more than the film will make him out to be a hero. I don't find him to be a hero - I find him to be selfish and short-sighted, and his family and friends paid the price. If that isn't a strong message, then the movie will miss the mark.

You're probably right about the hero aspect. Penn has been doing a lot of press for the film. He was on Oprah and Charlie Rose recently. I don't think Penn read the book and thought: "here's a really, really stupid kid, I think I'll make a film about him". I'm glad you're gonna see the film, give us a review.

RockRaines Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Rented "The Lookout" with that kid from 3rd rock from the sun.

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Michael Clayton Recommended. Out in limited theathers right now. Go see it if you can. A smidge over the top here and there, but really great characters, good tension, excellent acting (and I don't mean Clooney - others steal the movie), solid cinematography... overall really good film.
