A History of Violence / USA / 2005

And speaking of perfect thrillers, there is not a single superfluous frame in this film. My only gripe is that it’s an anomaly in Cronenberg’s career: commercial, comparatively unobscene, and formulaic. Had Tom Stall given birth to a fleshy hand gun and killed people with it, it would reside in his oeuvre nicely.

    I too have had trouble placing it when asked about my favorite Cronenbergs. It’s up there, but it exists on a completely different wavelength than The Fly or Crash.
