I'm with SecretMethod70 on this one, Viggo Mortensen's nudity in this film was anything but gratuitous. It certainly wasn't there for the "oooo penis" factor. It worked perfectly within the context of the scene to portray the vulnerability of the situation.

I agree that Naomi Watts is very good, but I don't think they needed to use her more. I think her life/character as a contrast and foil to the Russian lives/characters works better when it's not overly complicated.

And yeah, Cronenberg has been around for quite some time, his career isn't exactly developing.
