I actually thought this film was one of the best of 07... Cronenberg's last few films are kinda on that same level, where he weaves a tale and the ending reveals something about the character you don't expect. Viggo's been kickin' ass in both of the flicks with this director.

The stem room fight scence was insane! It remind me of Red Heat.

I thought Eastern Promises was a dud compared to the genius that was History of Violence. I hate it when foreign characters in films speak English in weird accents instead of their native language. One of my pet peeves.

And I'm excited for Batman, but it's getting kind of a negative buzz from the critics.
