Movie Reviews of 2005 #22 - A History of Violence

Any movie that has the word 'violence' in the title should be mandated to include violence. This one does, and quite graphically in the first few minutes.

But when you have to wait more than 20 minutes to see blood & gore from a movie that is advertised as a blood & gore, something is wrong.

At the screening, we had about eight people, within ten minutes it became an extended live version of 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000'. We all knew, or made side-bets of what would happen next, or yelled out our feelings about "what the fuck . . ."

It would not be so bad for the fact that the majority of the movie I could count anywhere from five to eighteen during the EXTREMELY, PAST DUE DATE, LET'S INDUCE FORCED, labored pauses.

There are many out there that think this movie is Oscar material. I think they should put the crack pipe down, stop huffing the kitty litter, and get a life.

This movie is bad, more than bad, it is just plain go strait to $4.99 DVD cut out bin bad. Basis of this opinion you ask?

When you have the whole group of the screening walk outside and in almost unison go, "what the hell, what the fuck, I want the last two hours of my life refunded, etc"

You know it is bad.

P.S. It took me from 2am Thurs. till now to try to find a civil & nice way to phrase this critique. So if you think I railed on it now, you should have heard what the original version was.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.
