  The advantage to seeing a movie when it is brand new, before you've heard anything about it, is sometimes the intended surprises really do surprise you. I didn't see where this was going at all until it got there and consequently enjoyed it thoroughly. Even the TV commercials reveal the essential story element at this point, so it may well have seemed a lesser effort had I walked in knowing the story.

    I try to see movies with a "clean eye", so to speak, regardless of what I've read about them - and I try not to read too much before I see them. I want the experience to be fresh and my reaction genuine. That's certainly the best way to see this films, although it's no guarantee the viewer will understand where the director is going or why.

    Anyhoot, I thought A History of Violence was one of the best films of 2005. Cronenberg is back on form and then some. The performances were outstanding as well.

    Don't care what others think in this particular case. I'm buying it DVD too.

      I'm glad I didn't know the story before I went, but a bit like the blues, you know kind of where its going and its how the story is told which is the point.

  we needed another example, that he is NOT a leading man.
  And that fuck scene on the steps was the least erotic scene in memory.
