Robin,
Yes this was a graphic one. I hated to see Viggo Mortenson play "bad" but he really wasn't (was he) I had trouble deciding where they were. Was it Russia or little Russia in New York? Any way a good movie
Another of his like this "A History of Violence" Did you see that one? He just blows me away. ...Hildalgo...Lord of the Rings
Now you got me started

It's a very intense film and Viggo was excellent, as was Naomi Watts. It's set in London, btw, and the twist was perfect and kept the film from ending on a real down note. Highly recommended. Eastern Promises at Wikipedia

I agree, this movie surprised me in how completely compelling it was. David Cronenberg directed both of the films you mentioned, and did an excellent job in keeping the thrills and suspense going. Viggo Mortensen was superbly cast in both.
We just watched this last night and while I had to turn my ahead away (not good with violence, and it is very gory, or at least I THINK it is), very compelling. I don't want to be a spoiler, but we are still talking about what happened at the end, and my BF says he is going to watch it again.
I enjoyed watching Eastern Promises. Sometimes the heavy Russian accent was a bit bothersome but the storyline was interesting. A good actor is one who is convincing as a bad guy as well as a good guy. It has been proven that when good actors play bad guys they do a pretty good job such as Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. I am always glad to see the change. I also enjoyed History of Violence.
