This was a great movie! Dave had to convince me to see it because after only hearing the name of it, I thought it was a documentary on violence! :-) So don't let the name fool you.

The movie was particularly enjoyable to me since I had never seen a preview and had no idea what to expect. It starts out a little too perfect (it seemed like they were living in Mayberry), so you have to figure something is going to go terribly wrong. The movie is filled with suspense. I quickly became really attached to the family and wanted everything to turn out OK. The performances were all great, but especially Viggo Mortenson.

Netflix Synopsis: Operating a diner in a small-town community, Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) and his wife (Maria Bello) are the picture of normalcy. But when Tom prevents a robbery and enjoys hero status in the local media, he attracts the wrong kind of attention from mobsters (Ed Harris and William Hurt) who think he's someone else. David Cronenberg (The Fly) directs this taut suspense-thriller based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke.
