"Eastern Promises"

[26667]

The new film w Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts has several scenes w a nice Ural, as well as a nice tip of the hat to its German forbear. Nice to see her "covering the brake" in an early ride scene. And while she had difficulty starting it in wet weather, it scorched me off that she could deploy the sidestand so easily.

A pretty good film, I thought, and if those Russkies build their bikes like they build their gangsters...

I read your post about 87 times. Here's all I got out of it:

"Naomi Watts ... nice ... wet ... ride ... pretty."

This will be the greatest movie ever made.

This was a "wannabe British spy/under cover" flick.
I thought the movie was middle of the road.

Did you notice the Brit bikes in the background?

My wife is a Viggo fan so she loved the movie, though.

Howard, consider Phil's review;
"Naomi Watts...nice...wet...ride...pretty"
Middle of the road'?.... how about headed for the ditch?

I just got back from seeing "In the Shadow of the Moon." It's a documentary about the Apollo missions - great interviews and amazing footage. That was a pretty amazing time in US history.

But..... if I'd have know that Viggo had a movie out I would have gone to see his movie. :bluduh
