2nd viewing was even better than the first -Cronenburg achieves his intention - not instant noodles variety, but subtle feast. The violence is shocking and graphic, but well contextualised. The nude Viggo fight scene-um-unforgetable! Insights all around, complex characters, great acting, not at all too arty but just visually intelligent, learning about the russian mafia codes of tattooing, much to recommend.
