A History of Violence (2005) #1
The trailer intrigued me, but I'm wondering just how violent the movie is.

Apparently, it's very violent. Raw violence, not pretty Hollywood violence.
 I'm supposed to go tonight to see it! I hope it works out! __________________

First off I'm biased because I luvvvvvvvv Viggo Mortensen.
HOW GREAT!! I loved this movie, it was so good. I couldn't believe it was SO simple yet so shocking! People were tense during the whole thing, you could feel they were with the movie every single step of the way. They followed the story, they were bound to it! Really, quite amazing....  No wonder the critics are loving it.I don't want to overhype it but I just enjoyed it so much.  __________________

Don't worry about over-hyping it, sweets - from what I hear it's really quite well done, although excessively violent. Still, that's pretty much the premise of the movie so people should have their eyes open when they go in.
I'm defnitely catching this one although I doubt I'll get a chance to see it in the theater.  __________________

It's based on a graphic novel, so I kind of want to see it. Not sure if I'll get a chance or not.

violence begets violence...which begets violence...which begets violence....ad infinitum......
today i saw 'a history of violence'.....a film that emphasizes the effects of and ramifications of violence...a family is forever changed by an act of violence....quick fast and too the point...clocking in at a brisk 96 minutes........with not a moment wasted....all in all an excellent film....while not my favorite film of the year.....i'd probably list it somewhere in the top 15......recommended viewing.....but with a caveat......not for the squeamish or those with an aversion to violence......  |

Is this a thriller? When I saw the trailer it almost looked like a thriller but I don't know if that's how you would describe it.

From all that I've heard/read it could be considered a thriller because of how the movie unfolds.
mukooh - thanks for the NPR link! __________________
