200-word movie summary: A History of Violence
Two guys kill a bunch of people who work at a nasty motel. One of the guys kills a whimpering little girl because we're all to understand that yes, these two gentlemen are actually quite, quite bad. Then we see Viggo Mortensen (unfortunately not Aragorn in this movie) playing Tom Stall in about 30 minutes of exposition all of which are to make us see that he's a regular guy with a cute family who runs a diner! What a fabulous life full of unicorns and moonbeams, la la la! There is one scene where his wife (Maria Bello) puts on a naughty cheerleader outfit and he totally chows down on her poodle. Hee! Then the two Bad Guys from the beginning come and try to rob the diner and Viggo calmly smites them even though one of them stabs him in the foot. Gah! Viggo becomes a hometown hero and I stopped watching it there because it was so damn boring, and anyway we all have figured out by now that he's really some sort of retired Bad Guy and some other Bad Guys are out to get him and I'm sure at the end Viggo kills 'em all.

that's enough for me.
It was reviewed on Fark a while back. Simply changed the title to 'A Shitload of Violence' and that about summed it up.
I like yours better. Moonbeams and unicorns make me a little nauseous though. Unicorns fart. A lot.
Honesty compels me to point out, you should have followed this one all the way through: (http://movie-hype.blogspot.com/2005/10/00617-history-of-violence.html)
