A History of Violence

Plot Summary from IMDB -

"Based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke, A History of Violence is the tale of Tom Stall. Tom is a loving family man and well-respected citizen of a small Indiana town. But when two savage criminals show up at his diner, Tom is forced to take action and thwart the robbery attempt. Suddenly heralded as a hero who took the courage to stand up to crime, people look up to Tom as a man of high moral regard. But all that media attention has the likes of mobsters showing up at his doorstep, charging that Tom is someone else they've been looking for. Is it a case of mistaken identity or does Tom have a history that no one knows about? Either way, someone's about to find out if there's a history of violence."

I liked the set up for this film but was ultimately disappointed in the outcome...no spoilers here you'll have to see it for yourself. It is a very engrossing film and the imagry is spectacular. Draw your own conclusions. I will say it is not for faint of heart, there is quite a bit of blood.
