History of Violence


Just watched History of Violence last Saturday but haven't got the time to write a review about it till now.

History of violence is a very good movie. How true that everyone has their own past, dark or light.

It's about how this mild-mannered, nice looking family man (Viggo Mortensen) became a local hero in his town after saving his stall from a broad nightlight robbery.

Troubles start knocking at his door the next day as people from his past recognise him after his bravado was broadcast over TV. They came looking for him and shook his family life way of its foundation. Well, the rest of the story, if I put it in words, will just degrade it.

It's dark, it's great. One of the kind that will stick in your head for quite some time. At least for me.
