If you like films about the mafia with fighting, violence, blood and guts like myself this is the one to watch.
From start to finish this film will have you gripped.
I will be watching this again in the near future and proberbly again after that.
This movie left me very pleased, the script is very good, nothing is over explained but every thing connects. There is a constant threat of menace all through the movie and the portrait of the Russian mafia is dark and sinister, not the men to be messed with.
So it is no place for a warm hearted midwife looking for the origins of a new born baby. Her investigations take her face to face with the inner circle of the mafia, a place no one should go. Drugs, assassinations, human trafficking, prostitution - it is a dark world that shuns the light and attention.
With strong preformances by Naomi Watts, Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel it is the script that shines through. The directing is good and when there is violence it is no holds barred and all.
It is a good and believable film. Highly recommended and it takes a good film to get my total attention and recommend.
