Rolling Stone
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.

Cronenberg holds up a mirror, but he leaves it up to us to recoil at what we see.

Village Voice
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.

Cronenberg's movie is eerily compelling and darkly humorous. And chilling - to the bone.

Clever and fast-paced thriller.
