Je crois que je préfère davantage ce film au précédent de Cronenberg avec Mortensen, "A History of violence". Même si les deux œuvres semblent assez proches et pourraient même s’inscrire dans la même chronologie, "Les Promesses de l’ombre" m’a plus touché et plus captivé par ces scènes de violence à la fois graphiques et d’action. Et Viggo Mortensen y est impeccable comme à son habitude.

Synopsis

A Russian teenager living in London who dies during childbirth leaves clues to a midwife in her journal that could tie her child to a rape involving a violent Russian mob family.

Community Reviews

Viewers are captivated by 'Eastern Promises', praising its intense, dark dive into the Russian mafia in London, highlighted by stellar performances, especially from Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel. The film's brutal, realistic action scenes and complex character portrayals enrich the narrative, making it a compelling watch. However, some found the violence overwhelming and the tone excessively dark, which might not appeal to everyone.

👍 Stellar performances and intense action.

👎 May be too violent and dark for some.
