Just a real quick post to get down my thoughts on A History of Violence. I thought this was a pretty good movie. The beginning had enough confusion to make me wonder, but not too much so I was totally lost. Vigo did a great job. Not totally convinced by his performance, but he did a great job. I do have to say he really has no problem showing off his body in movies. Although this wasn't nearly as bad as Eastern Promises. The nudity seemed a little gratuitous, but the extra features explained it somewhat, and who am I to complain about nudity. I liked the duality of the characters, especially the son's story. Ending seemed to just wrap it up a little too quickly. The violence was pretty extreme, but not a problem since it was expected. Overall, I thought it was a really good movie.
