This was the worst movie I have ever seen, the most depressing aspect of it all is that it had the full potential to be an amazing film. If you`re looking for advice don`t waste your time or money with this film; and if you have seen this movie can someone please explain why was she naked again????

YOU know when Stewey (Family Guy) is sitting in the theater and watching "Bewitched" I believe, and William F. says back to the girl after she says "I am a witch" and he says "And I am a clipper`s fan" (NOTTT FUNNYY). Than Stewey walks out and takes a trip to LA, and smacks the shiznit out of him. WELL THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO TO THIS DIRECTOR AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS WAST OF TIME, film, money, nerves etc... WOW SPICE WORLD HAD MORE ACTION AND BETTER ACTING woowww I walked out within an hour into the movie bottom line is DO NOT GO SEE THIS MOVIE, DO NOT GO SEE IT !!!!!!

Wow, this movie seems to have flown over a lot of people`s heads judging by some of the negative comments. Those who condemned it for both its sex AND violence obviously didn`t understand what the movie was about (probably LOTR fans excited that that Aragorn guy was in another movie.) And come on, it`s called "A History of Violence", you should know what you`re getting there (it`s not even remotely subtle.) It`s really kind of sad since Cronenberg really dumbed it down for people and they STILL didn`t get it! Still, it`s one of his best.

This was the worst movie I have seen in a while. There was a lot of pointless scenes in it. Several indecent scene not suitable for respectable people. Ending was really bad. It was really a waste of money and time.

If you thought "SAW" was a good movie you will love this. Alright so this movie was one the of worst i have seen. Anyone who sees this movie should see the other side of the film. The acting was horrible, the characters had no developement and you were sitting there waiting for the movie to start. The cinematography was horrible, the score throughout was terrible. There are not enough words to explain why the movie sucked. The whole thing was just 1 giant waste of $20 AND 96 minutes of my life. The excessive gore in the movie was unnecessary and brought nothing to the table it hurt this film more then it helped. Don`t waste your money wait a

Problem with (or perhaps greatness of) Cronenberg is that he`s rarely discernable in a single viewing, thus I having left the theatre not absolutely certain with what I saw. Sex scenes, however, were not pointless as the two obviously parallel each other thematically. Cronenberg fans will be pleased, most others - likely not.

WEAK!! pointless sex and pointless killing, I`m a dude so normally that would be ok, but this movie just didn`t cut it AT ALL. not to mention a ridiculously weak story (if you can find one) and of course the ending...or lack there of. all i have to say is that i was really disapointed, only thing that was worht while was Vigo holding it down
