A History of Violence

Matinee Heroes

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE When a pair of petty criminals attempt to rob his small-town diner, Tom Stall quickly and easily kills them both. In the flush of news coverage of Tom's seemingly heroic actions, a threatening stranger comes to town, fingering the unassuming family man as long-missing Philadelphia mobster Joey Cusack. To the horror of his wife and teenage son, Tom finds he has no choice but to confront his violent past.
