About
Eastern Promises

Cronenberg has made some very good movies in the past, and even with his bad ones you can't help but admire how well-made they are. Take "Videodrome" for example: a maddening film that doesn't make sense, but since it's so well-made, you are engaged in it. But in Eastern Promises, everything is perfect. Take a great script and have a director who makes films as good as they can be made, and you'll have a masterpiece.
