To me, this movie is perfection.
Boring
Absolutely Fantastic
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
'Road To Perdition (2002)' is melancholic and sombre look at the often glamorised gangster lifestyle, with excellent central performances and beautiful direction. It's a haunting and poignant portrayal of both fatherhood and violence. Truly compelling, unexpected stuff. 7/10
A stylish period movie where the ever lovable Tom Hanks is a mob enforcer? Bingo. A brilliant and beautiful film that focuses on the father-son relationship with a heavy dose of violence and a heavier dose of compelling performances from a great ensemble cast. Side note: Many people might not know that this is actually based on a graphic novel.
A gangster movie, Rolls Royce, winter, 1930's rainy dark night and lots more. An AWESOME Awesome Movie. It made my day. This movie shows revenge, father-son relationship, and beautiful scenes, shots.Watch it and you might be willing to go to 1930.
This was a troubling experience to witness.I had no idea what it would be about.Key concepts are - loss of innocence.And the scene where Tom Hanks locks away his weapons It was most painful to witness the loss of innocence by his son.Some Star Wars - find out what Daddy does for a living elements here.Good ole Darth - eh- depends on what day you catch him on I guess.I am only 1/4 way through the movie by the way writing this :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND SO FAR?
