The next morning, Tom confesses his story to the police. Fortunately for Tom, his lawyer Cass Greer learns that the Detroit detectives failed to inform Tom his rights of course. His confession is therefore inadmissible in court. They always screw up comic movies, don't they?" : the initial reaction of John Wagner when he heard that his 1997 graphic novel A History of Violence was going to be adapted for cinema. Wagner's first instinct was to "take the money and run"– and it was only when he heard that David Cronenberg was attached to the project that his attitude changed. "I began to think they might for once come up with something good," he told Comics Nexus in May 2005 – a week before the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Similar violence occurs in David Fincher's film Se7en (in fact, Wagner blatantly stole one of the seven killings from that movie for this book), but Fincher's use of violence feels conscious, pointed, thematically aware, and that makes all the difference for me.

The story was largely very interesting and throws up some questions you might want to ask yourself such as " would you be capable of defending your family in a violent situation?" I found some of the dialogue to be very cheesy which was a shame because otherwise they did a good job in telling the story and the gruesome denouement is something that either didn't make it to the movie adaptation or was wiped from my memory completely.

Of course, America's perception of heroic violence is at least partially rooted in the Western genre, the films of Anthony Mann, John Ford, and Howard Hawks, amongst many others, and at base, A History of Violence could be construed as a modern Western. Tom and his wife, Edie ( Maria Bello), live on a small farm of sorts, and later in the movie, a crime boss mistakes Tom for a farmer. And like many Westerns, where one would have to take people at their word that they were who they said they were, the concept of identity is crucial to what Cronenberg and Olson are getting at. Is Tom an essentially good person or a villain in disguise? Can a person be both? Cronenberg is fond of close-ups, centering shots on characters' faces, and throughout A History of Violence, you can almost feel his camera scrutinizing Mortensen's face, looking for a tell to settle whether or not he is who he says he is.
