A History of Violence https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/History_of_violence.jpg Dir: David Cronenberg Genre: Drama, Crime, Mystery Year: 2005 A first time viewer will likely be genuinely lost in the mystery of this film. Not to be boastful, but it's very rare that a movie can leave me stumped, but A History of Violence is so neatly plotted and paced that I was really left wondering about the central mystery--was Viggo Mortenson's character a former mob member or not? Thankfully, A History of Violence satisfies this answer at the appropriate time and then takes a thematic turn thereafter. Maria Bello's character has a really interesting psychological reaction, so to speak, to the entire incident, which I found as fascinating as the initial question. David Cronenberg's best movie (though this one counts as an American production!). --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
