Review of A History of Violence (2005) by Trevor R — 19 Mar 2013
Brutal, bloody, and criminally underdeveloped, A History of Violence is a classic example of a story with nuances extending far beyond its ambitious, yet short source material. Even the title almost suggests a pondering epic worthy of 2 hours or more.
Tom Stall's intriguing backstory is ridiculously unexplained to the point of mediocrity, and one has to wonder why an obviously gifted director like Cronenberg failed to expand upon the rich opportunity provided by the graphic novel.
