Many know Viggo Mortensen mainly for his role as Aragorn in the “Lord of the Rings” films. However, another masterpiece featuring the actor is often overlooked.
Most movie fans probably think of Aragorn right away when they hear the name Viggo Mortensen. However, a YouTuber explains in his latest video why a completely different film is the actor’s greatest masterpiece.
After a long time, Marco Risch from the YouTube channel Nerdkultur stumbled upon a movie featuring the actor on Netflix again, which had left a lasting impression all those years ago:
Since 2015, Marco Risch has been uploading videos about news, reviews, analyses, and interviews of current films, series, and video games. The YouTube channel Nerdkultur is part of the Webedia network, of which MeinMMO is also a part. Especially “nerdy“ topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC are the focus of his channel.
Unassuming yet so good
The content creator talks about the film “Eastern Promises” (German title: Tödliche Versprechen) from the year 2007. He describes it as a dark film noir that also reminds him of one of the best series of all time.
With great attention to detail and numerous hidden meanings, Tödliche Versprechen cleverly provides hints about the different characters in the film and their identities.
If you want to get your own impression of the film, you can currently watch it on Netflix. Our colleagues from Moviepilot also recommended Tödliche Versprechen as a movie tip.
Behind each scene lies a deeper meaning. A particular fight scene stands out in memory.
All of this makes the film an unforgettable experience for Marco Risch.
