"The Road to Perdition" is Sam Mendes follow-up to "American Beauty." The film is set in 1931 where Tom Hanks is a hitman for the mob. One night, his son witnessed what his father did, and he was sworen to protect him. Jude Law played a hitman who is out to get Hanks and his son. The film is wonderful to look at. From the city of Chicago in 1931, right down to rural roads. Some of the scenes in that movie was filmed in West Michigan, not far from Kalamazoo where I live. I didn't meet Tom Hanks back then and I wish I had. Jul 21, 2002
The movie is excellent. It moves at a slow pace but moves just the same. It couldn't go any faster as one could lose the deeper meaning that the movie is trying to tell. The acting is outstanding just as you would expect from Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. However, the son, Michael, does a very good job as well. I loved it and would see it again. I look for this movie to be nominated for an oscar for best picture for 2002. Go see it now... Jul 26, 2002
Definately a good movie, but not some of his best work. We cried, we laughed, we kissed, we kissed some more, and...ummm, hmmm, perhaps my mind wasn't on the movie... In any case, the movie felt like it could have had a different actor for the lead and it still wouldn't have been any the worse/better for it. None of the roles felt fleshed out enough, like say in Saving Private Ryan. Aug 2, 2002
This was one awesome movie. Definately a different role for Tom Hanks who in my eyes is probably one of the greatest actors ever. If you like Hanks and Newman this is one movie you won't want to miss. As serious as a movie as it is, there are some parts to laugh at. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did. Aug 21, 2002
An interesting movie to say the least. I like Tom Hanks and he does a great job of acting in Road to Perdition although I enjoyed him better in other movies. I think they could have ended the movie in a different and more enjoyable way. That would have made me more of a fan of the movie. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. Jul 21, 2003
