53 minutes into this movie and I'm loving it. Viggo is his typical brilliant self. Hot sex scene between a married couple(how often does THAT happen?). Typcial Cronenburg, there's a shot of a man's jaw shot off. Can't wait for William Hurt to show up.

Ok. TWO hot sex scenes. And Viggo's boo-tay. WOWZA. and oh yeah there's a quick full frontal of mario bello....

Alright.. *rubs hands together and settle down to type* I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in a while. The issue of identity, violence, and survival. What are we willing to do? What are we capable of doing? And how much of it can be left behind? And cut to the chase? It's one of the more accessible movies David Cronenburg has ever made. You can see it for the great suspense action drama that it is; but you can still glean from it the typical Cronenburg touches and his usual themes. Remember The Fly? Naked Lunch? M. Butterfly? He'll never dumb it down for you.
The performances are all so strong. In a movie about violence, none of the actors here beat you over the head with their performances. It's all in the eyes. The nuance of family dynamics. And William Hurt steals his scene with his underlying malice and general creepiness. I haven't seen Syriana yet, and lord knows Clooney looks great in a tux, but maybe the Oscar went to the wrong guy?
All in all, I give A History of Violence.... 4 Jimmy Choo's out of 5.
