Hey all, me and shrapse just watched a history of violence, and all i need to say is what the f***? Has anyone else seen this and know what the f*** just happend? I dont think i've ever been this spun out. And for all who havent seen it its worth the watch just for the WTF factor.

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep an eye out for it in February when it is released in Australia.

Yeah, definately worth the watch.

Is this a movie or a tv show?

Looking forward to seeing this.

Based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke, A History of Violence is the tale of Tom Stall. Tom is a loving family man and well-respected citizen of a small Indiana town. But when two savage criminals show up at his diner, Tom is forced to take action and thwart the robbery attempt. Suddenly heralded as a hero who took the courage to stand up to crime, people look up to Tom as a man of high moral regard. But all that media attention has the likes of mobsters showing up at his doorstep, charging that Tom is someone else they've been looking for. Is it a case of mistaken identity or does Tom have a history that no one knows about? Either way, someone's about to find out if there's a history of violence.

Ahh okay. Sounded like a documentry so some sort.

Sounds entertaining

It looks amazing, Viggo Mortensen said on the Daily Show that it was his favourite movie to make so far which seems a big call.

just watched it, wasn't overly impressed. acting was very hit and miss. story was dull and predictable. quite disappointed as had reasonably high expectations.

and all i need to say is what the f***? Has anyone else seen this and know what the f*** just happend? I dont think i've ever been this spun out. And for all who havent seen it its worth the watch just for the WTF factor.

what?? how were you possibly 'spun out'? this movie was simplistic, plodding and boring as bats***...

boring?

i think not!!!

pillsy: then again you did like fear and loathing..

Sounds like a documentary on the 'history of violence' in various cultures would be more entertaining then the described movie.
