a history of violence

drawn in by rave reviews and a david cronenberg film being given top billing, i had high hopes for this movie. instead, i sat through much of the movie wondering how viggo mortensen must feel knowing that he looks much better with a beard and appearing unshowered at all times -- while riding a horse or carrying a sword. i found the plot and pacing of the movie to be off-kilter and unbelievable. the premise for the movie was excellent but it just didn't work for me. i expected something deeper and more affecting.
