In this stylized thriller from director David Cronenberg, Viggo Mortensen stars as Tom McKenna, a well-respected man who leads a quiet, charmed life with his loving wife and family in a small town.

But when he kills a robber in self-defense at the diner he runs, Tom is lauded by the national media as a vigilante hero.

Now, to protect his family from certain peril, Tom must return to his secret past and confront A History of Violence
