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.
The only thing that seemed out of place was [SPOILER - highlight to read]: 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 - highlight to read]: 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
the lady that played his wife.. her acting annoyed the hell out of me..meh

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: 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 - highlight to read]: 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 great, what are you guys talking about? [SPOILER - highlight to read]: 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"? Those would have cheapened the movie.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: 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..
