I remember reading an article somewhere about History of Violence actually being more Cronenbergish when you broke it down a bit. But i can't remember the reasons or where i read it.
It's been a while since i saw it last but as i recall it spends most of its running time teasing, hinting that there may be an action film about to break lose, then just when you think its about to show its true colours the film ends. And i suspect Cronenberg intended it that way.
