'A History of Violence' - Unmarked Spoilers

Has anyone seen this film?

I got it on Netflix the other day and watched it Sat night. Although I enjoyed William Hurt's performance (I likened it to Zellweger's appearance in 'Cold Mountain' - it brightened up dreariness) and thought it contained one of the most well done sex scenes (on the stairs) I have ever seen, I was left feeling kind of blah about this one.

I thought the movie's pace was way too slow and that Viggo Mortensen (though I loved him in LOTR) was horribly miscast. The revelation of the main character's other side was not strong enough, imho.

For some reason, I really liked the ending scene.

I'd give it a C+ in my book. Not a huge fan of Cronenberg.
