What the deep voice says:
"Director David Cronenburg teams up with A History of Violence leading man Viggo Mortensen once again for a film that follows the mysterious and ruthless Nikoli (Mortensen), who is tied to one of London’s most notorious organized crime families. His carefully maintained existence is jarred when he crosses paths with Anna (Naomi Watts), an innocent midwife trying to right a wrong, who accidentally uncovers potential evidence against the family. Now Nikoli must put into motion a harrowing chain of murder, deceit and retribution."
What we say:
"This thrilling gangland flick beautifully shot in the darkest corners of the captial is pure Cronenburg."
