A weird yet compelling film, with a lot of clichéd stuff in the beginning I didn't like. But there is no denying that in Cronenberg's interpretation of such a simple story lies something very poignant about the American spirit and about violence. A rewatch might bring more clarity.

Really nicely put together, with some nasty bits of violence and thoroughly unpleasant characters, and featuring some interesting themes and ideas. I didn't mind that there were a lot of gaps unfilled, but felt that credibility was being stretched very slightly towards the end. That said, the very last scene was very effective in the context of everything that had gone before. Punchy and compelling.

Completely blown away by this movie I never would have dreamed Cronenberg (The " King" of body horror would direct something so good) And that it was originally a graphic novel Plus I like the misdirection and the visual effects and strong storyline Just all in all a great movie

Very good noir film with some graphic violence. Only thing I find off putting is the family drama between Tom and his teenage son. It is said that Cronenberg makes movies that may appear simple at first - to me A History of Violence is quite simple and economical even after multiple views.
