This is a older movie that we had not seen and was delighted when I was able to purchase it from BestBuy at a good price and my wife really enjoyed watching it and am looking forward to watching again anytime we want.

Much more gruesome than advertised. A lot of bloody scenes, and body parts being removed. Good plot, and good acting, but the strong Russian accents sometimes make it hard to understand what is being said; had to rewind a few times and turn on closed captioning. Not a "must see" movie, but maybe something for a day when you have nothing better to do with your time.

I saw this movie many years ago when it first came out and have been I recommending it to everyone since. I don't usually go back and watch movies after I've seen them but this one I bought just so I could. Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts were excellent.

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I saw it in the theater back in September of 2007, and as soon as it was over I made a mental note to purchase it when it came out on DVD. The performances from the cast -- Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, and Armin-Mueller Stahl -- were all fantastic. It was pretty violent, though one might expect that regarding a film about the London chapter of the Russian Mafia. The film never meanders and was directed very well by David Cronenberg, who also worked with Mortensen on A History of Violence, another very good movie. The DVD itself, however, could have used a commentary track by the director, but that aside, this is a fine DVD to add to your collection.

Cronenberg Does It Again...
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Yet again, David Cronenberg delivers another great film after directing A History of Violence. He has again used Mortensen for this film and puts him at his best, delivering a great performance. Mortensen is not alone though, because Cassel, Watts, and Stahl deliver equally great performances and help drive the film.
This film is an exploration of human nature and the mystery surrounding the Russian mob. If you liked AHofV, you will definitely like this one. But, be warned there is graphic violence, so it's not for the squeamish.

I loved both, this one and 'A history of violence' and it has to be related to Viggo Mortensen's performance (and Croberg's directing). Naomi Watts was, also awesome. I keep my fingers cross for an Oscar trophy for Viggo. The scene in the public bath and the last scene with the baby are extraordinary, but in the same time send shivers down your spine. After Soprano, I was thinking I am not going to see another realist Mafia story. This was it.

What a great film. I didn't watch it in theatres but rented it and then ended up buying it. All the actors give great performances and the directing is superb. Very interesting storyline with some curveballs thrown in. You'll enjoy it!!!!
