A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE (2005) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - David Cronenberg

Written by - John Olson (based on a graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke)

Starring - Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, Ed Harris, William Hurt

"A mild mannered man becomes a small town hero, but his act of courage uncovers his dark past. A great work of character study that seems to have been inspired by the post 9/11 atmosphere. Cronenberg’s film is a dark and psychologically compelling drama that questions the very nature of violence. Mortensen’s performance is great."

Drama, USA/Germany
