It is an adaptation of the 1997 graphic novel of the same title by John Wagner and Vince Locke. The film stars Viggo Mortensen as the owner of a small-town diner who is thrust into the spotlight after confronting two robbers in self-defense, thus changing his life forever.
The film was in the main competition for the 2005 Palme d'Or. The film was put into limited release in the United States on September 23, 2005, and wide release on September 30, 2005.

The Los Angeles Times has called it the last major Hollywood film to be released on VHS. Mortensen himself praised it as "one of the best movies [he's] ever been in, if not the best", also declaring it was a "perfect film noir" or "close to perfect". #createeveryday #creativelife #doitfortheprocess #abeautifulmess #lifeofanartist #creativity #creativecommunity #creativityeveryday #livecreatively #creativelifehappylife #creativeprocess #newcollective #dowhatyoulove #actingstudio #actingclasses #hollywoodactingclasses](https://newcollectivela.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
