Arguably the best damn movie of the year, underground filmmaking master David Cronenberg crafts yet another worthy gem of his career in what could ultimately bring several Oscar nominations for the well-endowed cast of Viggo Mortinsen, Ed Harris, and more.
Of course, lesser people that don't recognize Cronenberg's study of how violence influences us as human beings, and those around us, may revel in how "kuul" those violent action sequences are, but to the majority of us that get it, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE is indeed what its title implies: "A Story" of violence, and how it disables a loving family.
