best movie i've ever seen.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It's not every day you get to see Tom Hanks play a bad guy, but he does it quite well in Road to Perdition. In fact, almost all of the actors in this film succeed in creating believable and memorable characters (especially Jude Law - creepy!). The story has some predictable moments and it's slow-paced, but Road to Perdition is more than the average mobster movie.

seduction seems be the basic purpose. not to impress, not to redefine a classic genre, not to give a psychological story. only transform the viewer in part of story. part of a run and definition of loyalty. and the cast is perfect for this desire. Paul Newman is the first example but his presence is more a good seal for the spirit of a story with gangsters , in which the values are the lead characters. because it is a film about duty and survive. at the first sigh, like many others. at the second, original, refreshing and inspired work with details.

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.

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."
