Movie Review (quite brief)

I just saw this movie Eastern Promises about this little family in London who stumbles upon the diary of a young girl. he girl, who was only 14, was held captive by the Russian Mafia and is basically used for sex (and tortured). She got pregnant, and documents this all in her diary, along with her plans to kill herself in order to save the child, and in turn herself, from this nightmare. Anyway, she 's found collapsed and is taken into an ER room where a nurse finds the diary in her bag. She locates an address, and arrives at the location hoping to find out who the girl was so they can contact a family member. The man at the address is, of course, the head of this mafia ring. Anyway, the nurse and her family get sucked into this circle of blackmail and a series of secrets are revealed form the diary's translation, and i'm in a hurry now and can't talk but if you can see it then do but just be warned that it's really violent i'm talking Sweeney Todd here slit throats and all.

Oh, it was. And it was really interesting because you got this inside look a how the Mafia actually operated. It was really dark at times, but fascinating! All this betrayal and family ties and conflict and back stabbing and throat slashing among the different sects. And at the heart of the whole story was this little diary which held the power to stop the ruthless men and their circle once and for all. But it was really violent!
