A History of Violence, Among Other Faults

I just saw A History of Violence, starring Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello. Also featured are Ed Harris and William Hurt. The story is about this small town simple man, Tom Stall, who owns a diner in said small town. This is a perfect, small, nice town. Bad things don't happen here. And then, this one night, something bad happens. Two armed villains walk into Tom's nearly deserted diner, hold him and a woman at gunpoint, and then he snaps. He whips into commando mode and the next thing you know, the two villains are dead and there's a lot of blood everywhere. And this happens in the first twenty to thirty minutes, and it's pretty much downhill from there. Tom becomes a hero overnight, and then reporters are all over him. Enter Ed Harris with some very creative scars over the left side of his face. Harris goes by the name of Fogarty, and he is convinced that Tom is some man named Joey Cusack. The impression is that Fogarty and this Cusack person didn't part amicably, hence the scarring on Fogarty's face. Foggarty and his cronies become a menacing presence in Tom's and his family's life. Threats are made toward the Stall family, and then it becomes clear that Fogarty has been commissioned to take Tom/Cusack to Philadelphia by Richie Cusack, Joey Cusack's brother, who's intentions aren't pretty. And then...Tom saves the day, and the movie's over. Where's the story? This movie could have used some plot development, to say the least. They also needed to lose the raunchy and explicit sex scenes, and yes, that's plural. So, if you can see this movie cheap, or preferably at no cost, go and see it once, and then never ever again.
