The thriller told in “Eastern Promises” is a terrible and physical entire, set in London’s expatriate Russian underworld. The film, directed by David Cronenberg from a screenplay by means of Steve Knight, revisits a number of themes and motifs that are staples of the genre: the ties of brood and culture that pain in the neck evil organizations; Oedipal stage production; honor among thieves. The audience stumbles into this realm in the company of an virginal faubourgs (Naomi Watts) who finds herself at one time fascinated and repelled past it, as well as in biggish danger.

But even as the turns of its account and the contours of its characters are recognizable, very little around “Eastern Promises” feels on the cards or secondhand. From his originally days making low-budget uneasiness movies in Canada to his reported ascendancy as a favorite of the foreign touch-and-go cognoscenti, Mr. Cronenberg has each time been a genius of estrangement. He and his cinematographer, Peter Suschitzky, run the pessimistic, rain-slicked London streets in tones that modify the megalopolis into a malignant, palpitating presence. Mr. Cronenberg’s deliberate, all but stately pacing — the aspect he lingers in scenes for an spear-carrier beat or two, as if studying the faces of his actors for the treatment of clues — transforms what sway have been a ordinary thriller into something genuinely troubling.
Mr. Knight deserves a a ton of belief as kindly, since he is clearly as interested in the social and ethical implications of the yarn as he is in its twists and reversals. Expanse the other screenplays he has written are those after “Dirty Very Things,” another squinny at into the murky byways of multicultural London, and “Fabulous Indulgence,” a awe-inspiring biography of the 18th-century British abolitionist William Wilberforce.
