HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, A (2005)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Yeah, definitely. A little slow for today's fast-paced audiences, but definitely entertaining.

Technically any good? While the story is a little thin, it holds together just fine. This isn't a movie about plot twists or anything shocking. It's about watching characters deal with the cycle of violence. Great acting from just about everyone and especially Viggo. Damn that guy can act.

How did it leave me feeling? Hanging--the ending doesn't resolve much, but metaphorically, it works. I won't tell you what it says, because I don't want to ruin it for you. Also, true art can say different things to different people. After you see this movie, you might have a different interpretation.

Final Rating? SIYL (Good solid movie, but violent and contains very mature (and HOT) situations. Definitely a movie for adults who like to be treated as such by their movies.)
