Directed by David Kronenburg, Eastern Promises follows Anna, a midwife in a London hospital who helps deliver the baby of a Russian prostitute who dies during childbirth. Unwilling to let her be buried as a Jane Doe, Anna takes the girls diary and tries to get it translated in the hope of discovering who she was.
Unfortunately, that diary leads her into the middle of a Russian mafia dispute.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but it turned out to be an excellent movie - Viggo Mortensen was very good in particular.
My rating: 7.9 / 10
