Ed Harris looking intimidating in A History of Violence (2005)
The Big Picture David Cronenberg is easily one of the most innovative filmmakers within the body horror genre, as his work on classics like Scanners, The Brood, The Fly, and Dead Ringers and more made him so prominent that the term “Cronenbergian” has often been utilized to describe similar work.
A History of Violence RCrimeDramaThriller A mild-mannered man becomes a local hero through an act of violence, which sets off repercussions that will shake his family to its very core. The brilliance of A History of Violence is that it is not a traditional action movie, even if Cronenberg includes a few particularly memorable fight scenes that serve as a reminder of why he is one of cinema’s most visceral storytellers. The crux of the film’s tension revolves around how much of the truth that Tom is willing to admit to his family, and how it causes them to reassess their relationships.
A History of Violence is smart in that it saves a majority of its action for the final act, in which Tom unleashes his brutality on Richie. This is important because it would be impossible for the viewer to form an objective understanding of Tom’s life if he had been shown in his full ruthlessness from the beginning. After seeing him as a loving paternal figure who genuinely has his family’s best interests in mind, watching Tom move with the experience of a veteran assassin is far more chilling.
