"A History Of Violence" its more than just the title

I had first head that this movie was a change of pace from most other action thillers. And while the story-line is a lot deeper than in most movies the violence is just as crude if not worse.

In countless scenes the killings, beatings, and even sex acts are shown in an extreme light. And while they each help give the movie a unique individuality, they are often used too much.

The movie could have gotten the same point across even if it was toned down a few notches.
