Focus Features has just sent us a great new clip from Eastern Promises. Just in case you didn’t know, Viggo Mortensen, not Naomi Watts is the real reason to see this movie. Watch him pick a dead man’s pocket in the clip here.
Director David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises expands to a wide release for the first time this weekend. Now’s your chance to see it. The film follows the mysterious and ruthless Nikolai (Mortensen), who is tied to one of London’s most notorious organized crime families. His carefully maintained existence is jarred when he crosses paths with Anna (Naomi Watts), an innocent midwife trying to right a wrong, who accidentally uncovers potential evidence against the family. Now Nikolai must put into motion a harrowing chain of murder, deceit, and retribution.
