Quick Review: Overlong, and not always as neatly paced as it should be, yet superbly-acted and prettily- shot, "The Promise" is an important film about Armenian Genocide with a powerful impact, whose sweeping visuals are in contrast with the hard subject -- the authentic oriental vibe and splendid locations please the eye, while the harrowing actual story touches the heart. The love triangle subplot may be sappy, but the great performances from Isaac, Bale, and Le Bon make it credible.
