"People will like to say that 'Eastern Promises'……" — Viggo Mortensen
"People will like to say that 'Eastern Promises' is brutal, but the only reason they say that is because the scenes stick with them. They are realistic. They are in-your-face and you see the consequences. It's not a bunch of quick editing cuts."
