Boring, incoherent and insultingly didactic. It's like Wenders has never been to America, never observed Americans and never even seen an American movie.

A longwinded exercise in pretentious confusion.

Wenders' observations and subtextual commentary about violence in American society are well-served by the nuances of Nicholas Klein's script.

A sophisticated and pensive film about a subject that fills contemporary movies and fuels our fantasies.

We're left feeling disappointed that an opportunity to make a fine film was lost.

Consider the paradox: By the end of The End Of Violence, a preposterous film that rails against man's inhumanity toward man, you want to do violence. To the filmmaker.
