Viggo Mortensen is Tom, a nice guy married to Edie (Maria Bello) who seem like a lovely family in Indianna where Tom runs a diner.<br \/>\nOne day two criminals try to hold up the diner, and out of the blue, Tom saves the day by spectacularly disarming and killing his vicious attackers. He becomes a national hero, and with this brings some unwanted attention as some dubious characters believe him to be someone else.<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ll say about the plot.
