About this product

Product 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.Meticulously directed by Mendes and brilliantly photographed by Conrad Hall, each scene of ROAD TO PERDITION has the composition of an expertly crafted 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 Hoechlin creates an unsentimental portrait of a confused boy; 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.

  • 5 STAR THRILLER OF HUMAN EMOTIONS!

    I should have known if a film contained Tom Hanks that it would be good, but I was concerned it would be just another gangster flick. Boy, was I wrong! This is not about gangsters AT ALL! It is one of the best films I've ever seen. It's about the relationship, or the lack there of, between a father and son. This movie should have won every award there was to win. Mr. Hanks never does anything half way, and this role was no exception. It's such a change to see him playing such a serious man, but he pulls it off perfectly! You won't regret buying this film as it has a bit of everything. Witty parts are left to the young man who plays Hank's son, but it's a wonderful film of human emotion. All I can tell you is PLEASE DO BUY THIS! 5 stars in my book!!!

  • A dark, unforgettable movie

    Although this movie is dark and seems rather slow, its pace is perfect, considering the subject matter. Tom Hanks plays a man in the 1920s immersed in a crime family with no real way out. When his son witnesses a routine killing, the boss (Paul Newman) takes an interest and decides it's time for the whole family to go. Father and son escape, while two other family members are murdered in cold blood. The remainder of the movie the two of them are on the run, avoiding the hitmen who follow. Although the father and son had little to no contact before the tragedy, they develop a close bond on the run. Although a great tragedy occurs at the end of the movie, the viewer feels better knowing that the father and son developed real feelings for each other before the final scene.
