Additional Information
Directed by Sam Mendes and based on the graphic novel by Max Allan Collins and Richard Piers Rayner, the Depression-era crime epic ROAD TO PERDITION stars Tom Hanks as Michael Sullivan, a quiet hit man who is duty bound to Mafia boss John Rooney (Paul Newman). The mobster's close bond with Sullivan, however, leads Rooney's jealous blood son, Connor (Daniel Craig), to orchestrate a tragic series of events that results in Sullivan on the run with his 12-year-old son, Michael Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin). Soon an unscrupulous crime photographer/assassin named Maguire (Jude Law) is sent after Sullivan and his son, and Sullivan must decide on a course of action as young Michael comes to terms with his father's violent way of life.<BR>Meticulously directed by Mendes and brilliantly photographed by Conrad Hall, each scene of ROAD TO PERDITION has the composition of an expertly rendered painting. Making effective use of rain, snow, and shadows, the filmmakers create a cinematic world that's as dark, cold, and unforgiving as many of its inhabitants. But the film also allows for glimpses of emotional warmth, particularly in Sullivan's relationships with his son and Rooney, his surrogate father. In these roles, the respective actors create complex characters that resonate even in their restraint; Hanks is outstanding as a man of action with little time for words, while newcomer Hoechlin creates an unsentimental portrait of a confused boy, and Newman once again proves why he's a screen legend. And, in a strikingly unflattering role, Law makes the most out of his screen time as a creepy, parasitic hit man. Even in its harshest moments, however, Mendes never fails to remind the audience that ROAD TO PERDITION is a film about fathers and sons; and this is what elevates it from an atmospheric gangster movie to a truly astonishing work of art.
Reviews
Total Film - ...There's inventiveness, intelligence, even brilliance here..., New York Times - ...A truly majestic visual poem....Mr. Hanks does a powerful job..., Los Angeles Times - ...Because it is so careful with its effects, this film's ability to create feeling sneaks up and surprises....This is a story with a will to move us and the ability to do whatever it takes to make that happen..., Chicago Sun-Times - ...Beautifully made, well-acted, brilliantly photographed..., Premiere - ...[Law] helps bring this dark, strange, and ultimately moving film into disturbing places of the sort that most studio movies can't even imagine, let alone depict..., Rolling Stone - ...ROAD TO PERDITION has the juice to get its hooks into you, knock you off balance and keep you that way for two hours. It's a triumph for director Sam Mendes...

    Gripping.

    I was first lent this film when I came home from hospital and was confined to the house for a while. I watched it five times in the first four days. It's a simple story told simply. You're straight into the action. The filming is excellent and the use of muted colour beyond compare. It takes you back - right back - to when men had an honour, an honour they had to see through to the end. No let-up. In the end, the job is finished. I'm no fan of Tom Hanks, but this film made me regard him as not half bad. The light and the colour of the period is caught so well. Each death affects you deeply, though you understand the reasons they have to die; everything so well-told through the eyes of a boy who's mind should be full of the wonders of the age, yet here he is contemplating the real ...

    Revenge causes a process of highly charged response where the main character and his son rob, kill and act with the utmost kindness to certain individuals. It is riveting and will have the viewer experiencing many emotions. A film well worth watching.
