A History of Violence (Canada, 2005)

Director David Cronenberg likes to entertain and disturb audiences at the same time. He chooses controversial topics and twists them around to create an imaginative plot. In this case, Tom Stall, a married man living in a small town in Indiana, is victim of a robbery in his restaurant. He is able to survive by killing in self-defence. But wait a minute! The next thing we know, other strangers come in the restaurant. These persons are convinced that Tom is another person they know. They even start following his family. After another violent showdown in his house, where he kills three other people in self-defence, his wife and kids start to wonder who Tom Stall really is. Why is he so good at killing people? I cannot reveal the terrible truth, but it is definitely exciting to watch.
