Story Outline:
 In one of my super favourite  movies,  Viggo takes a lead role as a young and angry man returning home to his home in a small town after a tour of duty.  He recognises this is his big chance to start life again as he wends its way through the complex relationships he has with his brother (now the local policeman) his new girl, his
 		family and the threads of his past life and reputation.  It is an emotional and quite tragic film as Frank fights himself to make a new life, marry, find a job and become what his brother desperately wishes for him.  Although close, the brothers have very different perceptions on life and happiness.  Viggo brings an amazing intensity into this role.  In my opinion, this has been his best acting role ever.
