A History of Violence

The lady at the Jack in the Box is lucky I didn't break her goddamned neck.

Trying to hand me my nickel change after giving me my pumpkin milkshake. I turned the cup around, and there was all this BROWN crap on the side. The side where her hand had been. But instead of just giving me a napkin to wipe with, considering it was already on my hand, she reaches through the window and tries to dab it off herself.

I'd just seen A History of Violence. And if I'd had the ability, that bitch might be dead right now. Or at least had a broken arm.

Edit: Thanks to Uncle Warren, Cronenberg and his wife fucked in front of the cast.

Director David "Depraved" Cronenberg has already expressed semi-regret that "History" is turning out to be a hit. The comic book wasn't a knockover hit when it was released, but it's Cronenberg's kind of story, the kind of "speak the unspeakable" stuff that gets his evil brain moving.

For those that saw the remake of "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum (the last Cronenberg film that most people know about, because it's the only one that plays regularly on cable TV,) "History" is at least as unsettling, complete with open wounds that Cronenberg forces the audience to see.

But it's not the violence itself that makes this movie special. This is a story about identity, about knowing oneself, even when that's exactly what you're trying to escape from. Viggo Mortensen's character, Tom Stall, has escaped his former life as a mob hitman named Joey Cusack. It was working until he foiled a stick-up job, using his old gangland skills, and became a national hero.

That Tom is so close to his old self is a clear suggestion that maybe all human beings are prone to violence -- that's the kind of story Cronenberg likes. There were many scenes that provoked giggles and guffaws within the theater where I watched it -- more people that are lucky I have no skill as a killer.

Mortensen and Ed Harris are both good, but the real standout work was from Tom's son Jack, played by Ashton Holmes, and Tom's real brother Richie Cusack, played by an almost unrecognizable William Hurt. Maria Bello as Tom's wife Edie is also a standout, and I have to give credit to Heidi Hayes as Tom's little daughter Sarah. So much of this movie, like the comic book, is told without any words and hardly any actions. Fine for print, but in the movies, you need a good musical track to pull it all together. So kudos to Howard Shore (who did all the Lord of the Rings movies) for the score.

Go see it. Don't kill nobody.
