Not to be crass or immature, but this movie has one of the best sex scenes I've ever seen.

I like the core idea but I don't think it digs deep enough into Viggo's psychology to be effective. If the family drama were less rote, I might appreciate the overall film more. While I appreciate how brutal the violence is, I think the choreography leaves a lot to be desired. Our hero doesn't overcome the stacked odds against him because he's the most skilled or determined, he overcomes them because his opponents all patiently wait off to the side while he slowly brutalizes one man at a time.

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.
