"Sentimental value - I've heard of that".

professoryaffle and I went to see Eastern Promises last night, with a couple of her other friends.

Go and see this film. It's quite gruesome in places, but it's very well done violence, has no crazy car chases or shootouts, and much less of a fluffy ending than it could have had (although, as L said, it's a David Cronenberg film - what else would you expect?).

Oh, the eye candy. Mr. Mortensen in an impeccably-cut suit and tie, mending a motorcycle.

On the down side, it did set off my "Oh, ffs, it's just a baby" reaction. It amuses me that I could enjoy the fight scenes, but the shots of the newborn made me squeam.
