"You should ask Tom... how come he's so good at killing people?" – Carl Fogarty

Why watch this? It's a classic trope of a man trying to hide his violent past - now they found him.

Plot Summary: In a small town, a mild-mannered diner owner becomes a local hero after thwarting an attempted robbery with surprising brutality. His newfound fame attracts the attention of a mysterious stranger who claims the owner is actually a long-lost former mobster with a violent past. As his family struggles with this possible deception, the lines between his past and present begin to blur, forcing them to confront the true nature of his identity and the consequences of violence.

Dad's Preview: A man's heroic actions brings in mobsters who remember who he used to be. Now he's forced to protect his family. This is a strong effort by director David Cronenberg. It's also another reason to love Viggo Mortensen, who is quickly becoming one of the best actors in film. Ed Harris, who plays a ruthless mob criminal, shines per expectation.
