now THAT'S what i call a movie.
and even mr-rider can safely agree that it was good.

okay so Viggo Mortensen plays a kinda 'clean-up man' for this russian mob outfit that's moved out to london right.
and he's all pally with the king mobster's son (played by Vincent Cassel)
so intertwine it with the death of a prostitute at childbirth and goody-two-shoes midwife (played by Naomi Watts)

now i guess you'll like this movie if you like The Godfather.
just imagine it with a russian mob twist.

it has some gritty & gruesome scenes in it.
including seeing Viggo's swinging dong in view while he fights in the nude at a bath-house (tough sonofabitch)

David Cronenberg & Viggo did a great job on 'A History Of Violence' and it carries on with this superb tale which is worth the price of admission.


oh believe you me.
he's one stone-cold tough ass s.o.b in the movie.
and the tattoos really fascinated me.

best movie of the year so far. (hope there're better)

Final Verdict: 3 out of 5
