Eastern Promises (FREE! Canadian Film Day Screening)

Nikolai (Viggo Mortensen), who is both ruthless and mysterious, has ties to one of the most dangerous crime families in London. He crosses paths with Anna (Naomi Watts), a midwife who has come across potentially damaging evidence against the family, which forces him to set in motion a plan of deceit, death and retribution.

"An instant cult classic." (BBC.com)

"David Cronenberg triumphs again, showcasing the Viggo Mortensen's onscreen prowess in a daring performance. Bearing the trademarks of psychological drama and gritty violence, 'Eastern Promises' is a very compelling crime story." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"Such are the actual subtleties of Viggo Mortensen's performance - the odd sardonic smile; the slight tightening of a look - you're aware, from the off, that what he is on the outside might not have anything to do with what he is on the inside. " (The Spectator)

"Cronenberg is his own master, still ready to throw in the sort of scene few other directors could dare. " (Independent UK)
