Eastern Promises

Anna Naomi Watts is a nurse. She works in Russia in a hospital. On Christmas a girl of 14 years gives birth to a child and dies. Anna takes the diary of the girl. It is written in russian language that Anna can´t understand. So she asks her uncle, a Wodka drinking silent man. But he doesn´feel like it. So Anna give the copie of the diary to a man called Kirill, who is, as we will find out later, one of the heads of the Russian Mafia. But to be honest, I had a strange feeling about him the first time Anna meets him :-)Her uncle has started to translate the diary in between, and what he finds out about Prostitution, Pornography and human trafficking is not funny. The same thing is what the Russian Mafia thinks. And anyway, what is about this somehow smart and somehow scary guy Nikolai Luschin. His role is not clear at all. I liked this movie very much. And I also liked the actors. The cool, inaccessibly, smart Nickolai, the despereate, moral Anna, the unscrupulous but grandfather like looking Kirill, and so on. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the end.
