invisibleunicornninja This movie is slightly boring, but overall its pretty well done with great cinematography, acting, and story. I'd recommend it.

FilmBuff1994 Road to Perdition is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and a tremendous cast. It is a deeply engaging film from beginning to end as we follow a devoted father and husband seeking revenge on those who killed his father and son. The relationship that develops between Michael and his other, surviving son is powerful and heart wrenching, as we are at a constant concern for their safety. I did find that it moved a little slowly at times. This is not a huge issue, but I simply felt it did not pick up the pace at certain points. The performances are all around fantastic, Tom Hanks is completely immersed in to this role that is unlike anything else I have seen him in. He owns this dark, dreary character from beginning to end. Tyler Hoechlin is also very engrossed in to his character, certainly being one of the most impressive child stars I have seen in any film or TV show, with the likes of Paul Newman, Daniel Craig and Ciarán Hinds also bringing in top notch acting. Powerful and uplifting. Beautifully acted and edge of your seat suspense, I would recommend Road to Perdition to anyone looking for a good drama or thriller. A hitman seeks revenge on his family's killers along with his surviving son. Best Performance: Tom Hanks

edwagreen After viewing this film, Paul Newman should have known to call it a career. His craggy voice and demeanor make it appear that he could not wait to say his lines and move on.An eerie film gives you a good sense via cinematography of the early 1930s America.All hell breaks loose when the son of Tom Hanks sees him rub out an associate. Paul Newman's son, played by Daniel Craig, attempts to wipe out Hanks and his family and succeeds by killing his wife and youngest son. Jennifer Jason Leigh briefly appears as Hanks wife before she is rubbed out. How fortunate for her to be out of the picture so early on in the film.The rest of the film is devoted to Hanks and his son running from the Craig character. Hanks resorts to stealing mob money from the banks to smoke out the Craig and his gang. Newman tries to depict an elderly, but compassionate mob head, who felt that Hanks was a son to him, but loyalty is loyalty and therefore Hanks has got to go.

Roberto Alvarez Seemed like a pretty good flic... until... the conclusion, when Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) "lets his guard down," and allows the hit-man to catch him unaware. Given Michael's careful approach to his pursuit of his prey... it is totally inconsistent with his character not to remain vigilant while the mob's hit-man was still alive and pursuing him. Especially, since his wife's sister's house on the beach, was inexplicably empty when he and his son arrived.The flic is ruined by the next to last scene, which is inconsistent and totally predictable, as Michael walks into the empty house on the beach."Bummer."
