An old man and a young man, two vicious thugs

Because of a dispute with the front desk when checking out

They brutally killed the owner's family, including his young daughter

But the two will soon get their due retribution

Today we will watch this crime film "History of Violence".

The main character, Tom, lives in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

His wife, Mary, is a small-town lawyer.

Tom is a gentle and humble man who never argues with anyone.

He is very well liked in the town.

In his family, he is an angel and a doting wife.

Such a life is not rich and wealthy, but also safe and happy

The night the movie started the two thugs also roamed into the town

Tom's restaurant was ready to close when the two thugs walked in with a bad smile on their faces.

Tom didn't want to receive them, but they were rude.

Tom did not want to make a scene, so he began to prepare coffee

He told the waitress to go first, but the young muggers dragged the waitress back into the restaurant and took control.

dragged the waitress back to the restaurant and took control of her

The older man also pulled out his gun and showed his true face.

Tom played it cool and reassured the two men that they would do anything as long as they didn't hurt anyone.

The two thugs were bloodthirsty.

They wanted to kill the waitress to deter them.

The waitress was about to be killed, and Tom took advantage of the distraction of the older man.

He used the coffee pot in his hand to sneak up on them, then leapt over the counter.

Quickly picked up the pistol and shot several times

Killed the young gangster who was too late to react

The older man who fell to the ground pulled out a dagger and stabbed Tom in the foot

Tom was in pain, and then he shot the other man in the head.

He was killed instantly.

Soon Tom's heroic deeds spread throughout the town.

The story was covered on TV and media in many major cities.

Tom's picture was on the front page of the newspaper.

There were even reporters outside his home. Tom was now famous.

However, Tom was worried about this as if he was worried about something

After that, Tom refused all interviews.

Tom refused all interviews and kept his restaurant in a low profile, hoping that the incident would soon be over.

However, one morning an old man with sunglasses

came to Tom's restaurant with two of his men.

Apparently they were not here to dine.

The old man identified himself as Carl from Philadelphia.

He came up and called Tom Joey in a strange way.

Tom laughed and denied that he had ever been to Philadelphia.

He didn't know Carl, much less Joey, but Carl didn't give up.

Took off his sunglasses to reveal a blind eye

He said Joey had destroyed it himself and was getting aggressive.

Mary, who was helping, saw that the men were up to no good and threatened them with retribution.

Carl 3 people then left unhappy, but Mary still called the sheriff

And Tom's face tells us that things are not that simple

After receiving Mary's call, the sheriff warned Carl and the three men outside the town.

But only a warning, the sheriff did not have a reason to arrest Carl and the others.

And Carl did not seem to take the warning seriously.

In the evening, the sheriff came to Tom's house.

He went through the information of the three Carl

He found out that Carl was not a nobody.

Carl was a high-ranking member of a Philadelphia gang.

He had been in prison for 15 years for violent crimes.

Now also involved in six murders and dozens of disappearances, very dangerous

As for Carl's Joey, there is no such person.

But the head of Carl's Philadelphia mob, Ricky.

But Ricky, the head of the Philadelphia mob that Carl works for, has the same last name as Joey, so I wonder what the relationship is.

I don't know what the connection is. The chief asked Tom if he was a tainted witness in the Witness Protection Program.

He'd been in the Witness Protection Program and had changed his identity.

Tom insisted that these people were mistaken and that he didn't know anything about Joey.

But Carl and the others didn't give up.

One morning, a few days later, Tom arrived early at the restaurant.

He turned around and found Carl's car parked in front of the door at some point.

A few moments later, he was heading in the direction of his house.

They were going after his own family, and Tom panicked.

He dragged his injured foot and called his wife, Mary, while he was in pursuit.

He called his wife, Mary, and told her to prepare a shotgun just in case.

But when Tom ran home, drenched in sweat, he found it was a false alarm.

Carl's threat was much more than that.

The next day Mary was taking her daughter to the town mall when Carl's car followed her.

While Mary was concentrating on the merchandise, she suddenly noticed that her daughter was missing.

A quick search revealed that Carl was right next to her.

This caused her to break into a cold sweat, and she rushed up to her daughter and hugged her.

She warned Carl that her husband didn't know him.

She didn't want to have anything to do with them.

She didn't know what Carl wanted, and she didn't want to know.

If Carl ever showed up near her family again.

She would get a warrant for his arrest.

Carl, on the other hand, laughed and didn't know me.

Why don't you ask your husband about his brother Ricky?

Why don't you ask him how he killed the man?

How did he blind me?

Mary denied it again and left in a hurry with her daughter.

On the other hand, Tom's son Jack

On the other hand, Tom's son, Jack, had been bullied at school by a small bully.

He used to follow his father's advice and put up with it as long as he could.

This time, the bully used his father as an insult.

In addition to the influence of his father's heroic deeds

Jack didn't hold back any longer and beat the arrogant bully to the ground.

Jack was suspended from school for this.

When he returned home, he was reprimanded by his father, Tom.

With a change of heart, Jack spoke up and said

If you can't use your fists, you can't use a gun to kill people.

Tom was already worried about the incident.

Jack's words directly touched Tom's sensitive nerves

He slapped Jack with his hand and he ran out of the house feeling aggrieved.

Tom also regretted it.

He had taught his son not to use violence to solve problems, but what about himself?

Soon Mary returned home with her daughter.

She told Tom that she had applied to the court for an arrest warrant.

She told Tom that she had filed a warrant for his arrest and asked him if he knew Carl.

Tom denied that he was the Joey Carl was talking about.

Just then Carl arrived at the house with his men.

Tom rushed out with his gun, and this time Carl had Jack.

Threatened Tom with Jack's life to go with him a Zhao

For the safety of his family Tom had to put down his gun

Let his wife and children back into the house

It was like admitting that he was the man that Carl said he was.

20 years ago, the top killer in Philadelphia, Joey.

But he wasn't about to let go of the gun when he was held at gunpoint.

Tom seemed to turn back into Joey.

A quick punch shattered the minion's throat bone.

He grabbed the pistol and killed another henchman.

But Carl's reaction was not slow

Quickly shot Tom in the shoulder

By now Carl's patience was running out.

He was not hoping to take Tom away, but to kill him on the spot.

To avenge the destruction of his eyes

At that moment, a sudden shot was fired and Carl was killed instantly.

It turned out that Jack had shot Tom in the back and saved him.

Although he was saved, Tom had mixed feelings at that moment.

He had been trying to stay away from violence for 20 years, but it was not to his liking.

Today, his family saw Tom's brutal murder in action.

He can no longer hide the truth.

When he blinded Carl on impulse.

He made a big mistake and disappeared from Philadelphia until he met Mary.

Finding his true love, Tom said goodbye to Joey for good.

He and Mary began a life of peace and quiet.

But when Mary found out the truth, she couldn't accept it.

She was terrified and devastated.

She couldn't bear the thought of her husband cheating on her for so many years.

She couldn't imagine spending 20 years with a killer.

Even her son Jack began to distance himself from Tom.

The sheriff also began to suspect Tom's identity

After all, the gangsters were so sure

Plus the fact that Tom took care of Carl and the others by himself.

The sheriff had to be suspicious and although Mary could not accept it for a while

But still chose to protect the family denied the sheriff's questioning

Tom also did not explain too much

He knew things were far from over.

Sure enough, late at night he received a phone call

It was the head of the Philadelphia mob that the Chief of Detectives had mentioned earlier.

Tom's own brother Ricky.

He told Tom, "Should I come see you or should you come see me?

For the safety of his family, Tom immediately packed up.

He drove alone to Philadelphia.

After a day and a night of non-stop driving.

Tom met his contact at a Philadelphia bar.

He was led to a luxury estate.

After a search, he finally met his brother Ricky

Ricky is very enthusiastic about the brother he has not seen for 20 years

He was very warm and hugging.

Just when I was wondering why Tom was so nervous

Ricky led Tom to the office to reveal his true face

It turns out that more than 20 years ago Tom was the number one killer under his brother

For Ricky's mob career has made a great contribution

But Tom also developed a violent and unruly personality.

20 years ago he had a confrontation with Carl, a senior member of the same gang.

He stabbed the other man in the eye and disappeared without a trace.

Carl was going to find Tom and bring him back to the gang and execute him in public.

To restore the prestige of his own years

But he thought he was in Tom's hands again

And when Tom disappeared after causing a lot of trouble

Ricky, who had already been positioned as the successor of the gang.

Because of Tom's reason not only disqualified

But also by the gang of senior scolded the prestige of a lot of trouble

He has spent countless years of money and manpower

He spent years of money and manpower to calm the anger of the people and continue to bring in all kinds of people

To regain his seat as the head of the gang

And now that Carl was killed by Tom, it was all over again.

Ricky had searched for Tom, and now he was settling old scores and new ones.

Tom must die in order to quell the anger of the people and secure his position as the boss.

But Tom is not an easy man.

The minions attacked Tom and killed two of them in a quick counterattack.

When Ricky was ready to kill Tom with his gun

Tom had already killed the minions rushed in and escaped from the office

This makes Ricky furious, venting his anger to kill the attack failed

but was wounded after the minion

With the last of his men began to search for Tom's trail

Ricky may have been too comfortable as the boss

Seems to have forgotten Tom's methods

As a result, Ricky and his men were taken out one by one and the henchmen were killed on the spot.

Ricky was also controlled by Tom with a gun and Ricky tried to say something else.

Before he could say anything else, Tom shot him dead.

For the sake of his family, Tom didn't dare to hold back any longer.

After all this he walked out of the manor and threw the gun into the lake.

He washed the blood stains off his body.

A history of violence would follow.

Afterwards, Tom drove back home.

He didn't know how to face his family but kept quiet.

Instead, his youngest daughter set the table for Tom, and his son Jack handed him food.

His wife, Mary, looked at Tom with tears on her face.

Maybe the warmth of the family will keep the violent Joey away forever.

Tom is still the same good father and husband

This is the end of the movie

(End)
