A History of Violence

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE (2005) - Oct. 1, 2005
Viggo Mortensen gives an excellent performance in this film about a man from a small town who gets some unwanted attention when he kills a couple of robbers in self defense. It was really well made and well acted (Mortensen gives what is probably the best performance of his career). Plus it was surprisingly violent (though I guess not too surprising considering it was directed by David Cronenberg). ***1/2
