Official Site:-
Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) is a local restaurant owner in the small town of Millbrook, Indiana who lives peacefully with his lawyer wife Edie (Maria Bello), his teenage son Jack (Ashton Holmes) and younger daughter Sarah (Heidi Hayes).
One night two robbers come into Millbrook and stop at Tom’s restaurant as he is closing it. The robbers attempt to rob the restaurant, but Tom defends himself and his restaurant patrons by killing both robbers. Overnight, Tom Stall becomes a nationwide celebrity.
Tom is soon visited by a scarred gangster named Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris), who alleges that Tom’s real name is not Tom Stall, and that he is not even from Indiana. Fogarty claims Tom is actually a gangster named Joey Cusack, who used to run with him in the local Irish Mob in Philadelphia[2]. Tom denies these accusations and claims he has never been to Philadelphia, but Fogarty continues to stalk the Stall family. Under pressure from Fogarty and his newfound fame, Tom’s marriage and relationship with his son, Jack, become strained.
Tom soon gets into an argument with his son over the use of violence, and Jack runs off. Fogarty soon arrives at the Stall house, with Jack in tow, and demands that “Joey” return with him to Philadelphia. Tom then gets into a fight with Fogarty’s men, killing them with the same precision he used against the robbers, while Jack kills Fogarty with a shotgun to protect his father. At the hospital, Tom shocks Edie by finally admitting that he is actually Joey Cusack, and that he ran away from Philadelphia and adopted his Tom Stall persona. This furthers the tensions in their marriage.
Soon, Joey receives a call from his brother, Richie Cusack (William Hurt), who also demands his return to Philadelphia. Joey drives to his brother’s estate and confronts him, and Richie reveals that the other mobsters whom Joey had offended took out their frustration on Richie instead, which caused him to never move up in the organization. When Joey promises to make up for his disappearance, Richie attempts to kill him, but Joey defends himself and kills his brother and all of his men. Read more
