A History of Violence was a letdown. I usually enjoy movies with the theme that you never really know someone or twisty-turny mysteries. This movie fails because there is no surprise. You know from the previews that Viggo Mortensen's character is suspiciously handy a killing people when a couple of lowlifes try to rob his restaurant. Well, that's the end of the surprises. It's a watchable film, but only a fraction of what it could be. Maria Bello is disappointing and gratuitously naked, while Ed Harris is poorly type-cast.
