Eastern Promises was pretty good until the ending. It feels rushed. Maybe the British legal system is different and keeps people locked up forever for Statutory rape but here in the U.S. the boss would run things from prison and the problems wouldn't be solved so easily.
First off, he's not locked up "forever" in the movie. He got pinched like American mobsters in the past have done for tax evasion or any other non-mob sounding crime...you know?
With Viggo in the clique, the Police arrested and persumingly locked up the Boss for that jail sentence, which gives Viggo the power vacumm to play his power politics.
Capo, you weren't moved by that last shot of Viggo, all alone, in the restaurant?
Easily, arguably, the CASABLANCA of this decade with that devastating climax.
