A History of Violence: Movie & DVD Review (2005)

9/08/2007 Posted by Admin

Shady criminals

(Originally published 2005)

From David Cronenberg, one of 2005's best, with Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, Ed Harris and the Academy Award-nominated William Hurt doing some fine work, indeed.

This lean, expertly conceived thriller is the story of Tom Stall (Mortensen), owner of a small-town diner in Millbrook, Ind., who is just minding his own business when into his business come two murderers eager for a little trouble.

What they don't understand is what they're up against--Tom, an otherwise gentle, easygoing man who displays the sort of violent heroics that tend to raise their share of eyebrows. And questions.

This is particularly true when the media get involved, and then the mafia, and then Tom's family, who now look at him with new eyes as his circumspect history comes into new light. <>A terrific movie.
