At the end, I think he's crying because for her, he's killed his "old" self, done so much to try and escape back to his "masked" self, and his peaceful life. I think she's crying because the man she fell in love with may have never existed. Was his "masked" self not real, just a hope to be normal? Is his "old" self never truly dead, just ignored? The movie ends with the uncertain first steps forward, after the truth is laid bare. They can never truly retrace their steps. Joey's murdered many many people again, his son has shared in the killing, and they've all witnessed the old self Joey can be. They sit at the table in the ruins of their old life, wanting to be a family again, but never again the same family.
I viewed the last scene at the dinner table as the family signaling their acceptance of him after all that they have been through. The daughter signaled acceptance of him by giving a plate, the son by offering him the meatloaf, and it was left up in the air whether or not his wife would accept him.
@@johnow7 I think this applies well to both the theme of "the family accepting him," and "the family attempting to move forward now that they know the truth." The daughter is wholly innocent. She offers without question because Joey is just Dad, and love for him as family is probably unconditional. The son has seen, and taken part in the arduous journey that brought them here. He's assisted in doing harm to protect their family. As a member of both worlds now, he also offers food. Maybe acceptance comes from the fact they now share common ground. As you put, the wife does nothing. It is up in the air where they move forward from here, as we don't know whether she can accept him or not. Good interpretation!
Viggo Mortensen has a lot of amazing movie roles beside the Lord of the rings , check out Eastern Promises it has one of the craziest fight scenes in cinematic history just imagine Viggo Mortensen fighting two assassins butt naked in a Turkish bathhouse
Viggo Mortensen is a brilliant actor with great range. The casting was strong with Ed Harris, Maria Bello and William Hurt (who was nominated for an Oscar for this). You should also check out Viggo in Mr. Fantastic and The Green Book. Both are Oscar nominated performances.
I Love this movie. Cronenberg rules. Not enough reactions to this banger on youtube. You should put "Nobody" starring Bob Odenkirk on one of your polls if you haven't seen it and enjoyed this movie.
Awesome and very underated movie that definately went under the radar.....got onto to you guys from your LOTR reaction and you guys are cool as. Dai refering to Joey as Aragorn was funny as 😂 ima keep checking ypur vids out 👊🇬🇧
The movie has remained in my lasting memory and is dear to me because I made two mistakes in predicting its direction. First, I thought the plot would revolve around the killers from the beginning of the film, then that the movie was about a man who unwittingly drew the attention of criminals. I'm glad that we experienced the film quite similarly 🙂
I thought my screen was cracked at top right corner. Lol FIRST TIME VIEWER&NEW SUBSCRIBER. BTW. I love the soundbites dropped like Colonel MF Stinkmeaner, Ryu, and Charlie Murphy.
They talked about a look before. We don't see her, but we see his reaction to her, which seems like surprise - I think that's because he can see in her look that she still loves him.
Hey guys the Diner scene . I quote from another viewer . “ Too late for them as their evil souls were checking out . The thugs discovered that that they were nowhere near being the scariest, most dangerous killers on the planet .”
Shame this one didnt perform as well as your other videos, its very good but not as remembered as stuff like lord of the rings! Movies like this one would be great as patreon exclusives when you guys feel comfortable setting one up. I cant afford that kind of thing so shooting myself in the foot... yall are always fun and seeing reactions to lesser known movies is hard to come by!
He had to kill all the ones from his past that were out for him in order to preserve his life and his family. His son was not a budding psychopath...he was a kid reacting to protect his dad. And IMO, when he left Joey in his past, his intention were to live a normal life as he probably realized the hit-man life he was leading was not what he wanted for his future.
The movie is almost perfect. It has mystery, psychology, action and gore. It's just the ending sucks. It could almost be put in a top ten but the ending hurts it.
Apparently this film was the last ever to be released on VHS tape

That’s an interesting analysis. Mine is different but you’ve given me things to consider.
Thank you.

Good interpretation!

This is an underrated dope classic 💯
It really is !!
this movies title reminds me of "A Most Violent Year" which is sooooo good.
Awesome and very underated movie that definately went under the radar.....got onto to you guys from your LOTR reaction and you guys are cool as. Dai refering to Joey as Aragorn was funny as 😂 ima keep checking ypur vids out 👊🇬🇧
Awesome! Thank you! so glad you’re enjoying them!

If you can get it the DVD commentary of this movie is pretty cool and worth watching along.
Such an underrated movie.
Facts!!
Underrated…? 🤨
Where are you folks getting this crazy idea…y’all 12 or something?
I said that cuz I've never known anyone else that has seen this movie. Aside from my wife and kids when I picked this for movie night lol
I thought my screen was cracked at top right corner. Lol
FIRST TIME VIEWER&NEW SUBSCRIBER.
BTW. I love the soundbites dropped like Colonel MF Stinkmeaner, Ryu, and Charlie Murphy.
Welcome to our channel!!! Enjoy
You have a really good editor! Much more creative than most channels.
Thank you!!! We do the Editing 💙❤️
Haven't seen this in a while, forgot how gory it was a couple of times lol.
This movie is an underappreciated classic of the early 2000s.
This movie is VERY appreciated, what’chu talkin’ ‘bout Willis? 🤨
@@GizmoBeach it is appreciated. I think it should be appreciated more. It's a freaking masterpiece.
@@movieman175 nah it's trash
@@salarzx62090 hey to each their own but what makes it trash?
@@movieman175 Pretty much every single aspect of this movie
Great reaction to this movie I haven’t seen in a while.
thank you!
@@Dai.Natreacts you welcome !
They talked about a look before. We don't see her, but we see his reaction to her, which seems like surprise - I think that's because he can see in her look that she still loves him.
This is a really good movie, and I wish they had made a sequel!
Tom Stall was the savage. Just give those two criminals some coffee, geez you still have customers eating and talking in there.
Hey guys the Diner scene . I quote from another viewer . “ Too late for them as their evil souls were checking out . The thugs discovered that that they were nowhere near being the scariest, most dangerous killers on the planet .”
two other similar movies:
1. Drive (2011) (ryan goslin)
2. Edge of Darkness (2010) (mel gibson)
This is such an underrated movie. Viggo is amazing

Badass movie
Another Viggo Mortensen movie worth the watch is Eastern Promises, it's very gritty.
david cronenberg is a great director, you should check out more of his stuff.
Ok we’ll check his stuff out !
Viggo plays Lucifer in The Prophecy. You guys should check it out if you haven’t already. Amazing actor ❤
Aragorn is different in this movie...:)
He had to kill all the ones from his past that were out for him in order to preserve his life and his family. His son was not a budding psychopath...he was a kid reacting to protect his dad. And IMO, when he left Joey in his past, his intention were to live a normal life as he probably realized the hit-man life he was leading was not what he wanted for his future.
Fun fact: This is the last big movie ever to be released on VHS
Joey is Aragorn in case y'all havent noticed
Awesome reaction, can you please watch a movie called THE FOUNDER.
The american version have way less blood than the European version. Love Viggo!!!
The movie is almost perfect. It has mystery, psychology, action and gore. It's just the ending sucks. It could almost be put in a top ten but the ending hurts it.
The whole movie sucks. The ending is just a part of it sucking
I wish you two didn't waste your time watching this trash. It's garbage. But I like your reaction videos to other movies
Different opinion, the movie is brilliant with incredible acting!
@@littlefruitster2667 this movie is garbage and the acting is insanely bad (apart from Viggo)
@@salarzx62090 Like I said different opinion!
@@littlefruitster2667 ok. I'm just thankful I don't share yours
