Nothing like a Naked Russian Mob Death Match

Eastern Promises was on the HBO last night. I was intrigued when like 3 minutes in a guy is getting a shave but some other Russian little mob squirrel comes in and like graphically cuts his throat. We are talking see the gash blood squirting out. Like I said intriguing.
Now I'm a huge fan of The Departed so maybe it was just the quality of movie or the differences between the Irish mob and the Russian mob, I still can't figure it out, but this one was just not fabulous. It was interesting, the twisty turn of the finding out who the baby daddy is and bringing him to justice, is Viggo really that bad? it had its moments. Then there was the interesting weird things the semi-slow kid getting hacked while taking a piss, the naked steam bath death battle, the awkward kiss at the end. It wasn't horrible but I wasn't too excited or sad when it ended either. I guess you have to like movies like this to really like it.
