Eastern Promises

Viggo Mortensen is acting his clothes off in this movie, literally! He gets naked during (before) a fight in a steam room (I know!!) and it distracted a bit from the fighting which was, as Boyfriend told me, quite violent. Naomi Watts isn't bad either as the one bringing it all to light. Is it just me who thinks she is a lot prettier than she used to be?

The story line, trafficking, is relevant as we are now more aware than ever that [sex] slavery isn't something that just happens "elsewhere" or is a thing of the past.

The only thing is that I was amazed over the fact that she never once seemed to ask herself whether it was a good or a bad idea to go to someone who might have be connected to a [dead] 14-year old Russian prostitute -especially as it is fairly well known that a lot of Eastern girls are forced into said profession by not so nice people. I know I wouldn't knock on someone's door asking if they knew so and so and in what way... Hand it over to the police - that's what I say!

I really liked Eastern Promises and not just because of Mortenson's arse (or whomever it belongs to). I'd watch it again!!
