Movie Reviews of Road to Perdition (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: A very fine, well-made film.
Summary: 5 Stars
The "Road to Perdition" is a film about relationships, family, ethnicity, community and very much about America. More specifically, it is a story about a son, one of two, and his father. It is film with a lot of drive that gets it from the action in the story, more than from the dialogue. Overall, it has an honesty that comes across from the direction, the actors, the costumes and the scenery/locations. Most recognized in the awards the film gathered was the cinematography by Conrad Hall, which probably contributed most of all to the touching and haunting quality of the music for the film score. The acting in the film was superb in that the "stars" (Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Jude Law, Daniel Craig) were wonderfully balanced, resulting in an almost ensemble effect. My sense is that even though Sam Mendes, director and the principals did not walk off with Oscars, future audiences "Road to Perdition" will grow in appreciation, as time goes on. Don't miss it.
Summary of Road to Perdition (Widescreen Edition)
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 02/13/2007 Run time: 117 minutes Rating: RIn Road to Perdition, Tom Hanks plays a hit man who finds his heart. Michael Sullivan (Hanks) is the right-hand man of crime boss John Rooney (Paul Newman), but when Sullivan's son accidentally witnesses one of his hits, he must choose between his crime family and his real one. The movie has a slow pace, largely because director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) seems to be in love with the gorgeous period locations. Hanks gives a deceptively battened-down performance at first, only opening up toward the very end of the film, making his character's personal transformation all the more convincing. Newman turns in a masterful piece of work, revealing Rooney's advancing age but at the same time, his terrifying power. Jude Law is also a standout, playing a hit man-photographer with chilling creepiness. This movie requires a little patience, but the beautiful cinematography and moving ending make it well worth the wait. --Ali Davis
