Review of A History of Violence (2005) by Stanley Kauffmann for The New Republic — 01 Mar 2007
This sort of investigation has been done so masterfully by Sam Peckinpah in "The Wild Bunch" and Oliver Stone in "Natural Born Killers" that, in a sternly utilitarian sense, we don't need Cronenberg.
He is not, as far as I have seen, in their class. He proves it again in A History of Violence.
