Review of A History of Violence (2005) by Timothy M — 14 Aug 2010
Exemplary. Reminded me of Unforgiven. A lot. But that's a good thing. It could basically be a western, honestly - all the tropes seem to be there. The performances are all top-notch, and William Hurt kicks ass in an unconventional role for him.
That guy can act more with just his eyes than most others can with their entire array of faculties. He just has to be cast right, I guess. I also loved Howard Shore's score. I've enjoyed Cronenberg's Oscar-bait - I guess it's time to get into his more typical work now.
