Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises review

Eastern Promises review (right click, save as)
We talk about David Cronenberg’s films and how they have changed from Spider and History of Violence to his newest one Eastern Promises. Zack compares Cronenberg’s more visceral quick and “realistic” violence to Peckinpah’s stylized “glorified” sloMo take on violence. And he also compares the dramatic style of Eastern Promises to Paul Verhoeven’s newest movie Zwartboek (g. Black Book).
