Class Act
30/09/2005 - 15:20:08A History of Violence
Director: David Cronenberg
Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, William Hurt, Maria Bello
One of the classiest thrillers of the year, with a couple of potential Oscar nominations in Mortensen and the always-reliable Harris.
The story concerns an apparently ordinary family caught in the nightmare of a apparently self-defence justified killing at the father’s diner.
It’s a multi-layered drama packed with class acting and steered along by thoughtful directing from Cronenberg.
Star Rating: 4/5
