Reviews

100	Rolling Stone - Peter Travers Other films this year will have to sweat bullets to match the explosive power and subversive wit of David Cronenberg's A History of Violence. It slams you like a body punch and then starts messing with your head.
90	L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas Cronenberg holds up a mirror, but he leaves it up to us to recoil at what we see.
90	Village Voice - J. Hoberman Cronenberg's movie manages to have its cake and eat it--impersonating an action flick in its staccato mayhem while questioning these violent attractions every step of the way.
88	Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea Cronenberg's movie is eerily compelling and darkly humorous. And chilling - to the bone.
80	The Hollywood Reporter - Ray Bennett Clever and fast-paced thriller.
