Yeah been waiting for the film for ages, looks interesting. But I am looking forwards more to his other film PainKillers(sounds like back to Crash territory).

Aww, Cronenberg has said he isn't going to make PainKillers anymore sad

Cronenberg has directed The Brood(recommend), Rabid, Shivers, Crash, Dead Ringers, Videodrome, Scanners, Naked Lunch, Existenz, The Fly, Dead Zone, Spider. That is all I can think of right now.

Saw this last night, and it is a masterpiece. Sheer suspense from start to finish, and plenty of vintage cronenberg gore. The characters are all memorable and well rounded, ed harris is pretty creepy and mortensen is well cast. Overall, id say this is one of cronenbergs finest films.

Really? The title would suggest it, but the trailer just didn't look like it was red friendly. I'm pretty sure it'll be nationwide this Friday. I'm there.

It's suppose to be quite graphic in the violence department but nothing for shock value.

Will be seeing it soon, can't wait. Mortenson is suppose to be rather excellent in this film.

Trust me, Viggos character deals out some horrific injuries to those who cross him, and they are shown in all their bloody glory.

I dont know that i would go that far. I thought it was good, but i would laugh at calling it a masterpiece. And suspense? I musta missed all that there were no real suprises or tense moments. The only kinda suspensefull thing was you were quite sure when a fight was gonna take place, but that wasnt really a big deal seemed more like stalling for the sake of.. just stalling.

As far as the gore goes it is very graphic, plenty of gun shots and plenty of closeups on them.
