![]() ![]() I used the word "intriguing" earlier, and that's how I'd define this movie overall. The school bully the son has to deal with was ridiculously overacted, though. The teenage son, played by Ashton Holmes, also played a big role, clearly developing his arc based on his father's actions. The family dynamic was effectively established, especially between Mortensen and Bello. I had no prior knowledge going into this movie aside from the fact that it's on the list of YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann's "50 movies of the 2000's to see before you die." I was immediately intrigued by the opening sequence involving the two robbers, and Mortensen and family reeled me in the rest of the way. Tom's life takes a turn when he stops two robbers attempting to murder his customers and steal his money. A History of Violence stars Viggo Mortensen as Tom Stall, a restaurant owner in small town Indiana living with his wife (Maria Bello) and two kids. ![]()
