David Cronenberg's 2007 Eastern Promises has been released on 4k by Kino via Universal. To me, it's an odd one for Mr. Cronenberg, who usually seems to be working in other genres.
An interesting, well-cast film about the Russian mob in London, and as Roger Ebert notes in his 2007 review, these aren't the Corleone's.
Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Armin Mueller-Stahl are the leads.
This appears to be a scan of recent heritage, with a nicely rendered grain structure, solid colors, rich blacks and an appropriate gray scale.
The only very minor point that stood out to me was an oddly captured highlight early on, in the the grain didn't seem happy. Other than that, it's a quality presentation.
Image – 4.25 (Dolby Vision)
Audio – 5 (DTS-HD MA 5.1)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
Upgrade from Blu-ray - Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k - 3.75
Beautiful, appropriate organic grain - Naturally
