Question on "A History of Violence" - Spoiler Warning

I really liked the movie up until the end. It all seemed over very quickly - bang, he kills his brother & then goes home to have dinner with his family... no words are said. The kids seem to accept him back, while it takes longer for the wife. It kind of leaves you wondering - is it really ok?

Any thoughts on the movie?

1. Highly overrated.

The script was horrible, imo and solid acting couldn't save it.

3. That seemed a bit strange, too

I kind of raised my eyebrows over that one.

4. I was disappointed.

I was expecting a lot better, since it was on lots and lots of Top 10 lists.

It didn't look or feel like a Cronenberg film.

5. I liked it until the ending

I was expecting it to be a lot longer... and, then I was like, "hmm, that's it?"
