A brief movie review - A History of Violence


Well I think I have to agree with Eco's positive comments about this movie. See references in Further Analysis and Dick's contrary comments on The Impact of Film.

I finally got to watch it last night and really enjoyed it.
  • Great main roles and complex characters.
  • Nice balance of emotion and violent action.
  • Eco maybe stated this with a little more accurately, but it felt like it followed classic Asian war themes.
  • Steamy sex scenes.
  • A few incomplete or flawed minor characters.

Obligatory PJMixer comment: You can't ignore your past or your inner true self, but maybe you can learn from it !


I liked it. 7/10.
