A History of Violence

John Wagner, Vince Locke

Vertigo, 2004

Fake casts do more than get you out of work.
When I watched A History of Violence earlier this way, I was impressed. It took the "American Dream" family, and threw them into a terrible situation, yet wasn't entirely predictable. Unfortunately, it suffered from a bit of lack of interest, for lack of better term, ...
