A History of Violence

I saw this movie and it is really cool. It does not hold back. It is violent and the gore visuals are great. However, that is not to say that it is a normal action flick. It still has drama and the story is pretty good. I highly recommend this film.

This film just worked on so many levels, the acting was superb, the action was cool and above all that it just had a underlying tone of menace that kept me off balance throughout.

This is by far Ed Harris' best performance, he just radiates the meaning of evil.

Looks good, may get to go see it Wednesday when I get paid. Viggo!! droolio

The only thing that seemed out of place was

Spoiler:
the random graphic sex scenes. Those added nothing to the movie really. What was really odd was that there was no nudity during the sex scenes yet right after the stairway scene there was full frontal nudity on the wife "after" the sex scene.

Of course, that did not by any means ruin the movie for me.

I was thinking that exact same thing too...

Spoiler:
the sex on the stairs seemed completely out of place and almost funny...but it was almost stupid.. there was a little nudity .. there was a Viggo bum crack shots... not much female nudity... like i care

anyways.. I wasnt thrilled with it... Viggo was hot though droolio

the lady that played his wife.. her acting annoyed the hell out of me..meh

Spoiler:
That scene made me think he was going to become the bad guy. I think that could have been a cool direction to take the movie.

Spoiler:
yea if he would have tried to kill her and she tried to kill him back or something ... lol ... but the sex scene on the stairs was blah-- i started laughing during that part cause it was so gay

Just saw this. It starts off very good and builds really well. However, the ending is a big disappointment, it ends very abruptly. For once they didn't tone down the violence just to get a PG13 rating.

the ending was total blahness yawn

The ending was great, what are you guys talking about?

Spoiler:
Do you honestly want it to turn into the stereotypical action movie where they chase around for 20 minutes? Or where they discover his "equal"?

when he sat down at the table..

Spoiler:
I thought if the credits roll now then this is the worse ending... and well the credits did roll 😬

Spoiler:
the full frontal nude scene of his wife..was totally random..it would have been better if had been her sitting on the bed and him walking past

Anyway loved the movie..viggo literally kicked ass ..MG I think the ending was just right ..they didnt need to show anything more..

I remember him hurting a lot of people in the film but I don't recall him 'literally' kicking somebody in the butt. 😉

i'm sure his foot must have had contact with someones ass..though you probabaly couldnt see cause he was so fast..

Sorry, gang. This movie was pretty average. Not at all impressed, infact, rather let down. Review forthcoming.

Going to see it later today. I'll let you all know what I thought of it later.

Overall... did NOT like it. Thought the first half was decent, then it just got weird and bad. The ending was pretty damn lame as well.

thank you, i felt like people have been seriously over rating this movie.

Oh, I wrote a review for it, a lot more detailed as to why I didn't like it. It's in "The Vomitorium".

But yeah, it's certainly overrated if you ask me.

what an awful film.
