A History of Violence

yeah this movie really dissapointed me, the "violent" parts were very awesome but too short. and the random sex scenes interrupted and kind of overtook the plotline and entire movie.

Yeah, I loved the film but it did feel kind of disjointed and short in some areas- like the fight scenes. There wasn't any humour I can think of and the sex scenes... well the first one was okay because well, they are married but the second one was completely too random and pointless.

Ed Harris as I posted before was excellent but heavily underused in the film and so no-one had that heavy screen presence to continue the film with the same atmosphere. The ending was terrible, it just lost direction.

This movie was so blunt, it was amazing. Fantastic film. And like you said, Myth, it doesn't hold anything back.

The bluntness was good. No ridiculous chasing like you'd see in most movies. And Lord Shadow, you may not have caught onto it, but the brother was definitely humorous.

Yes, he was but not much else.

No, not much other parts of comedy, but I'm fine with that.

I was getting ready to run to the theater least weekend to see this movie, and I looked up some info on AHOV and read about the graphic sex scenes, I wasn't in the mood at all for any sex scenes (When I feel like watching sex, I DO NOT hafto go to the movies to do it!) so instead I ran to go see "serenity" and was amazed at the movie. It was great.

I thought it was stunning - the sex scene when you know your in the wrong but you want someone and thy want you but you both know you will feel bad afterwards was so true to life - so needy.

It was just an excellently observed yet still dreamlike fantasy, gangster clip - Cronenberg is still god 🙂
