"In this family, we do not solve problems by hitting people!"
"No, in this family, we shoot them!"
The Stalls are an upstanding small town Indiana couple. Tom (Viggo Mortenson) and his wife Edie (Maria Bello) run the town's diner. Thier son Jack (Ashton Holmes) is a gentle spirited teenager who is bullied at school. Little Sarah (Heidi Hayes) is afraid of monsters.
When a couple of murderous thugs arrive at the diner and threaten Tom with guns, Tom shoots them both dead and becomes a hero.
Soon Tom and Edie are been stalked and threated by mobster Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris) and his goons Frank Mulligan (Bill McDonald) and Charlie Roarke (Aidan Devine). Fogarty has seen Tom's hero picture in the newspaper and pegs him as Joey Cusack, brother of Philadelphia mobster Richie Cusack (William Hurt). From there the true tale unfolds.
Also appearing are Peter MacNeill as Sheriff Sam Carney.
Direced by David Cronenberg.
Run time: 1 hour, 36 minutes
Rated R for strong brutal violence, graphic sexuality, nudity, language and some drug use.
My personal rating: B+
