Ok, too graphic, not bad though. Very violent but good storyline.

Pretty good, slow pace for a gangster movie. Cronenberg movies are pretty interesting, he takes a different view than a typical hollywood movie. Good rental, but some pretty violent moments!

It was better then I thought. But lacking something - more subtitles and stronger ending.

A film that could have been average is made really good because of Viggo Mortensen. When he's on the screen, you don't notice anyone else. He is the focus of the film and he proves once again that he is the quintessential actor of our generation. He delves into every role as if he were there, living it. I recommend this movie for anyone who wants an intriguing, interesting look into the world of the Russian Mafia, but especially for those who want to see a performance like none other. Viggo Mortensen. Enough said.

Excellent movie. Very intense from start to finish, a few interesting twists. I really recommend it. The end is a little bit weak, that is why I do not give it 10 points!

A masterpiece in every possible way. This film has everything (drama, violence, intrigue, sorrow, sex, tension, psychology, beauty, everything!) and it exists in a flawlessly subtle and coherent whole. This movie does not take for granted anything about the viewer-- it tells its story the way it has to be told and the product is a work of art. That also means that there is no effort to spare the audience from scenes of graphic violence, realistic sexuality (including nudity), and tense social/family issues. There were quite a lot of gasps and guffaws in the cinema when I went (there were many people in attendance as it was the premiere) and the man next to me averted his eyes several times so if you have a sensitive stomach or a conformist mindset, you may want to think twice before seeing this film. If not, then by ALL means go-- it is phenomenal!!!

This movie gave some interesting insight into a very dark world that most people are unaware of and the intimate relationships between men and women in this macho culture of Russian ganster underworld in London which I found interesting and sumwhat disturbing. If you don't like gore and violence then stay away. The ending was a lilttle hard to swallow yet all in all it was captivating and entertaining.

Very well made but I liked "A History of Violence" a bit more overall.

Not Cronenbergs best, but still not bad. Viggo Mortensen delivers another great performance. Maybe it's just because movies are pushing +2 hours these days, but I found this one to be unusually short. Overall, still a movie worth watching.
