A History of Violence Viggo Mortensen

by Francesco Eunchae: Viggo Mortensen

Two killers walk into a diner and the guy behind the counter takes them down. That's where A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE (2005) kicks off, and from there it becomes a reckoning with whoever this man was before. What gets me is Viggo Mortensen once the composure slips, genuinely frightening stuff. David Cronenberg never lets the blood land as cool either, it's nasty, it's fast, and nobody gets to undo it
