Eastern Promises

Saw Eastern Promises at the regular theater Friday, 21 September 2007, at 645pm.  Finally, I have seen another contender for Oscar Best Pic (the other possibility I saw earlier this year was A Mighty Heart)!  A lot of people liked A History of Violence more, but I liked this movie more than David Cronenberg's previous effort.  His direction was flawless.  Camera work, screenplay, cinematography are perfect.  If Viggo Mortensen doesn't get an Oscar Best Actor nom for his performance in this film, I don't know what else he needs to do to get one.  Armin Mueller-Stahl should also get a Best Supporting Actor nom.  As of today, if this picture wins for Oscar Best Picture, I will not be disappointed.
