A small-town restaurant owner (Mortensen) saves the day by killing two men that where holding up his business before they could kill anyone inside. This daring act lands his face on all of the local, and apparently not-so-local, newspapers and television news drawing the attention of some mob guys from Philadelphia that believe he is somebody else from their past and do not wish him well. So, who is this guy after all?

This movie has a very strong and recognizable cast (Bello, Harris, Hurt, Mortensen) and a unique storyline. Ed Harris playing the bad-ass mob guy, Hurt the pissed and slightly disturbed brother (at least for the short time he was on screen) and Maria Bello the loving yet sometimes confused wife were the highlights. And guys, if you like cheerleading outfits there's a scene in this movie specifically for you; Maria Bello is a very lovely lady that was willing to not leave much to the imagination at different times during this film.

The movie starts off very slowly as they prove to the audience that these two people really do love each other. The middle throws in an unnecessary father-like-son reference and once you figure out the truth the film is very predictable. My biggest gripe of all is the very last scene; I would have liked that scene extended for closure.

This is a fun little movie that doesn't take all night to watch. As the title and rating suggest, you'll want to keep the kiddies out of the room for this one.
