Pie a la Mob

Tonight I really enjoyed seeing David Cronenberg's relatively new movie, "A History of Violence."

Viggo Mortensen stars as the owner of a diner in an Indiana small town. He thwarts a robbery attempt and finds himself in the spotlight as a local hero. As you can guess from the movie's title, that's exactly where he doesn't want to be.

This movie is deftly crafted and the tension builds while the story moves along at a good pace. It's not for the faint of heart, but it's a fun thriller.
