I laughed at the last scene. It was a good scene, but it just reaked of "well that was really hosed up. I guess we'll have an awkward dinner and get back to the routine. Tonight is a school night, afterall". A+++ would watch again.

In a way, we all have a...history of violence.

I like most movies but I thought the acting and script for this one was notably bad. Like memorably so

AHoV and Eastern Promises tend to linger on the results of the brutal violence they depict and I loved it. Intellectually i know Cronenberg is de-glamorizing violence by showing that after the hero character fucks up a bunch of gangsters now he's got several twitching mutilated corpses on his lawn and it's traumatizing his family, and this should be disturbing the audience but the gore hound part of me is all "Fuckin cool that guy's nose is smashed into his brain lol"

when i saw i thought the hyper-realistic violence was very effective because it was graphic but also disgusting, rather than glorifying or gratuitous. it made violence look ugly. i think all the pearl-clutching "violence in media" people should love this movie for that reason.

I really liked the back and forth between Viggo and William Hurt. Was that classic "Cronenberg unease/suspense" dialogue that I like so much.

Also movie gets extra points for Viggo rear end goodness

Did you know that "The Vigg" as I like to call him, lives in New England and only does movies he wants to do because he invested wisely? He spends a lot of time driving around alone and thinking deep poo poo about life and death. Heard about it on NPR a while ago. He's a bit weird but interesting. He chain smokes american spirits when his kids are not in the car.

Tension to it. Also Jeremy Irons is really, really good in both roles.

Yeah, I liked him too Joeyy Just rewatched it. Such a great movie. I thought the ending where he just stumbled in like wrecked from driving across the country and failed wire garrot marks around his throat and hand and his son just sorta like casually passed the meatloaf after a slight pause while his wife (who was totally ride or die through it all+ bae... I love Cronenberg's female characters)

Wait didn't this movie have a scene where Joey dreams about dead Ed Harris with his ribs and smoke coming out of his chest and he's talking to him? I could have sworn that was a scene in the movie but I just rewatched and it never happened. What movie am I thinking of? Please help I'm going crazy here. EDIT: Okay it was a deleted scene that I must have seen when I was watching the DVD extras ages ago. I hope Netflix starts adding DVD extras to their streaming stuff. Those were the poo poo.
