Eastern Promises
Definately one of the better films I've caught in the theater this year (including Children of Men in that count, so that's high praise). Easily the best and most accurate portrayal of the Russian mob (vory v zokonye) committed to film, with a good (but not perfect) understanding of the language of tattoos, the nuance of relationships and symbolism, and the vory code vs. its wolfish nature. No gun use at all in the entire film, which is a pleasant surprise, until you see the knives come out - when Viggo Mortensen is naked.
Go see it.

Whatever.
It is not as good as the one with the chick and her tongue.
