David Cronenberg’s movie style has always been cold and dark, and he does not shy away from showing blood and violence naked, and the names of the movies are often strange and puzzling. In "The Promise of the East", Both of these points are very obvious.
Vigo Mortensen’s dedication, Naomi Watts’s ever-growing superb acting skills, and Frenchman Vincent Cassel’s eagerness to prove himself to Hollywood. More importantly, the old Canadians who have experienced the baptism of years are even more eager for "golden people". Therefore, the fineness of the film can be said to be high.
Individual directors, popular actors, powerful actors, exquisite scripts, and tacit team, all these elements that stimulate a benign chemical effect are gathered in the film, making the film a win-win situation at the box office and awards.)
"The Promise of the East" whizzed by with perfect efficiency, truly and freely, but the scene of punishing people as if slaughtering a chicken in the film did not arouse too much fear from the heart.
"The Promise of the East" is not only a respectable entertainment film, but also a crude work of art.
