[Foliorum Viridum]

I've watched this film at least a dozen times, yet Eastern Promises only once.

I must fix that. I can barely remember EP outside of a few awesome sequences. No idea why I've never returned to it.

I think I fell asleep during it.

Guess I'd better watch it again to make sure I like it.

Because History of Violence is great and Eastern Promises a lackluster turd that completely vaporizes any meaning through that "twist".

I don't even remember the twist!

What I can remember of EP I really liked. I'm so chucking the DVD in tonight.

I just felt it collapsed when Viggo went to see his brother or something, can't remember it correctly.

I'm in the 'great film' camp, but it did feel a bit rushed at this point. I guess that's what can happen when you adapt just the first third of a comic and have to tack your own ending on.

I enjoyed Eastern Promises more but A History of Violence is fantastic as well.

You will enjoy it, and the "twist" worked fine for me, meant there could be a sequel (and there was one planned for a time, not sure if the director still has it in the cards or not.)

[Pachterballs]

This movie is incredible.
Both films are two sides of the same coin. Viggo is a good man with questionable intentions in Eastern Promises, and a questionable man with good intentions in A History of Violence.

How many women would be able to fit into their high school cheerleader outfit after all those years?

 

[dave is ok]

Joeyyyy... Why are you bumping five year old threads Joeyyyy?

 

[FairyD]

I love these necro bumps. It's like time travel.

Urgh. Please do not mention that scene ever again. Seriously has there ever been a more cringey moment in a film? Especially when she did the cheerleader cheer or whatever.
