A History of Violence
Synopsis
An average family is thrust into the spotlight after the father commits a seemingly self-defense murder at his diner.
Cinematic DNA
I would probably say Drive is a fairy tale. I think it's almost like one of those European movies, it's not really an American film. It’s definitely inspired by films like Blue Collar, Taxi Driver, A History of Violence.
