Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises- WHY did they put threee of my favorite actors in the same category. (Not as strong a performance as the clips I saw for Daniel)- OH CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eastern Promises

Was good. I liked it.
It wasn't the best movie I've seen in a while and I think mainly because Naomi Watts was in it...I really dislike her as an actress in anything. I liked the story/ plot but Naomi just killed this movie for me...Ugh...VERY BAD CHOICE OF ACTRESS
Thankfully, Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassell were there to save the day, and they did so beautifully and together....

They had great chemistry and acted well.

The show was rated R and I guess rightly so. I won't give away much but there was a good 6 minutes of Viggo fully fully naked (front and back) and things...
He is 49 yet his body is well taken care of :)
So go get the movie, its good Eastern European mobsters in London, the dirt they do, some instability, how they take care of business, prostitution, modern day slavery, death, grief, babies etc....

Javier Bardem

Javier is my Jeffery Dean Morgan (love love) look-alike. He was the break-out star of No Country for Old Men, in my estimation.


He plays Anton Chigurh an assassin.

The great thing about this movie is that it looks at the characters motivations in doing what they do,and how they do things.
Very simple, very plain.
The character with the most depth to me was Anton, simply because there wasn't any real way to know his motivation. Just a job, annoyance, just because, the others deserve it? You had to assume.
The character was interesting too because whatever his motivation, he tried to distance himself from the killing decision.
Flipping coins, asking his victims random questions, giving arbitrary choices.

All Arbitrary. Not in his mind of course but still arbitrary. If I met him in real life I can tell that there would be a lot of miscommunication between us.
The character doesn't speak to you, just at you. No matter what you say, he's already onto his next thought his next step, his next action.
Interesting that he wouldn't take responsibility for his actions. Interesting but typical..it's always someone else's fault..They didn't connect to his thought process quickly enough or perfectly enough...always their fault.
