EASTERN PROMISES

         

          Eastern Promises is a crime thriller film. The film contains brutal or bloody violence, there’s some graphic sexuality or nudity, drugs, alcohol, smoking and intense scenes. In the beginning, the film showed already a brutal scene which leads the audiences to be more focus and be excited of what will happen next.

            The story is about the London midwife who investigates the death of the 14 year old girl because of child birth, she used the diary to know her families. But the diary is written in Russian so she ask her uncle to help her. When her uncle revealed the content of the diary, the dark secrets of Semyon which the midwife asked his help also and his son, Kiril. At first, they’re suspecting Kiril as the one who raped the 14 year old girl but later on the truth prevails, that thae father of Kiril, Semyon, is the one who raped the girl, he’s old. At the end of the story, Nickolai is their driver, is the one who help the midwife for the baby to survived because Semyon and Kiril set up him so that he will be the one to be killed.

            The script is somewhat structured intelligently in a way that it has a humorous dialogue. The director directed the film in an observant and stylized way yet confrontational because he doesn’t underplay or exaggerate what happens. I read in some articles that violence is part of his style as a director. Maybe his fans will definitely appreciate this film. Yet, some audiences will definitely squirm at what he shows only because he wants to reveal the brutality and motivation of what is going on.

            The casting is unique which the audiences can remember who they are because of the way they act and they can show their personality as an actors and actresses of the film. I like how Semyon acts, the grandfather who shows sweetness and kind to everyone but also has a violent dark side because at the first place you will not think that he is the one who raped the girl. Kirill also shows how bad he is, the way he is drunk, and how he is being attached to Nickolai. Nickolai is also good in a way that you will be confused if he is really bad or good, because he shows sometimes that he wanted to help Anna but he is killing people. And of course, Anna, the midwife who is really desperate to find the truth, she is a good actress, her performance is very powerful because she drives the film’s plot and getting people to try and figure out what’s going on.

            Eastern Promises is a wonderful film. Though it is a violence film but still the director didn’t fail to get the audience think the way he thinksEastern Promises is a crime thriller film.
