I really enjoyed History of Violence - in particular I loved the audience's reaction. The theatre was fairly full and there were lots of guys-guys - (frat boys, etc) who seemed to think this was going to be a regular "bruce willis" action flick. What I loved about this was the subtle squirming that was going on as the film kept twisting and turning our expectations - every time there was a burst of enjoyable violence, then the film would make you feel guilty or dirty for enjoying it. Freaking brilliant. Cronenberg back in form in my opinion.
