Dir. David Cronenberg · Canada, Germany · English
Tom Stall had the perfect life...until he became a hero.
An average family is thrust into the spotlight after the father commits a seemingly self-defense murder at his diner.
"Cronenberg's direction, mirroring the split in Tom, is alternately measured and frighteningly explosive, and, as always, he gives the movie a nasty underlay of sexual perversity."
— David Denby
"A remarkably convincing examination of heroism, hero worship, and the seductive allure of villainy."
— Ken Tucker
