Road To Perdition (DVD 2003)

Road to Perdition romanticizes gangland Chicago, but no more so than other films set in the same period. And, like almost every movie about the mob, this one deals with themes of family, loyalty, and betrayal - albeit without the intensity of some of the great ones (The Godfather, Goodfellas). As was the case in American Beauty, Mendes illustrates how accomplished actors will respond to an assured director. Serious movie-goers embarking upon this journey will find that Road to Perdition leads to a satisfying destination.Thanks for looking.

TOM HANKS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ACTORS AND I JUST HAD TO HAVE THIS DVD. THE FILM IS EXCELLENT AND THE ACTING IS SUPERB FROM ALL INVOLVED.

An enthralling movie. Great cast (Tom Hanks, Daniel Craig, Paul Newman, Jude Law), beautifully shot, just the right amount of action and a good storyline. I found it more watchable than other better known gangster movies.

Not the best movie about the mob, but a good addition to any mob movie collection. Visually very appealing, I love the climax scene in the rain, and Paul Newman is awesome as always.

I'll be totally honest. I bought this because it has Daniel Craig in it. I don't like Tom Hanks, but was willing to put up with that just for a film with the blond Bond in it.

What a pleasant surprise!! It was a superb film, really gripping. On top of that it was very stylishly filmed, all in sepia and rain-grey tones, very atmospheric. They also went to enormous lengths to find parts of Chicago unchanged since the 1930s.

I even enjoyed Tom Hanks. In fact apart from The Terminal, which was superb, this was the best Tom Hanks film I have seen.

The real treat thought was Daniel Craig. He played the unhinged and spoiled brat killer son of a crime boss very well indeed!

Great film, one to watch again. Cheap as chips 99pence. Sunday afternoon film when it's raining outside, get the fire going and away you go.

Road To Perdition is a unique mobster movie about the relationship of a father and his young son when their lives are upset by betrayals inside the organized crime family for which Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) works. With the sudden and tragic loss of his wife and younger son, Michael Sullivan turns from being the right-hand man of an organized crime lord to an outlaw on the run from the mob, to protect himself and his older son from the threat of the crime family. At the same time, he tries to lead his son away from a life of crime, also known as the Road To Perdition. On their journey, they form an unforgettable bond. And it is this relationship that bears the biggest impact on this mobster action film

9/10 great gangster movie

it was something we have always wanted to watch and wasn't too over the moon with the film too dark but avarage i suppose.

As im a fan of tom hanks
trying to get a collection of his dvd s
just a few more to buy now best film ive seen in a long time :-)

Conrad Hall went out with a bang. The great film photographer finished his illustrious career with this movie before passing on. He did himself proud as this is one of the best-looking crime films you'll ever see.

Of course, the acting ain't bad when you have Tom Hanks and Paul Newman playing the leads! The amount of action in here is just right, too: not too much; not too little.

None of the characters in here, frankly, are "good guys" as Hanks is a professional hit-man for town boss Newman. Hanks' only redeeming quality is not wanting his young son to wind up a killer like him, although he does teach him how to be the getaway man in robberies! Huh?

As good as the acting is and as interesting as the story is, the real star of this film is cinematographer Hall, who paints scene after beautiful scene with his lens. His work is just awesome.

i didnt know it was possible to deliver that fast? the copy of the film i bought was not only immaculate but at an ammazing price really pleased to buy from the seller

The most fantastic Father/Son bonding movie.
The boy loves and respects his father. The 1930s ethos is tangible. The acting and direction are outstanding. Tom Hanks is cast brilliantly. Paul Newman compliments the emotions drawn by this movie. Even the boy is terrific.

I loved it.

Good storyline but a little slow at the beginning, a film worth watching.
Strong performances from Tom Hanks, Daniel Craig and Paul Newman.

ddddddddddddddddhhhhhhhhhhhhh kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkknnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnccccccccccccccccccccccccccccooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Tom Hnaks as a really bad guy. Just goes to prove what a versatile actor he is. This comes across as a dark, almost gothic, tale. Could have been durected by Tim Burton on a good day.

This DVD was bought as part of my daughter's A level Film Studies course.
Personally, I'm not usually into gangster type films but I watched this one with my daughter and it is excellent. There's a cracking storyline running through it, which gives the film a great depth of emotional meaning.
I would certainly recommend it!

Road to perdition is set in the early US. It's a fairly slow laid back kinda film - don't get me wrong it's not a bad film just not one you'd pop in the DVD player to watch a 2nd or 3rd time.

A hit man and his son take revenge for the killing of the wife/mother and son/brother. not much else really to say about it apart from Tom Hanks is Excellent - although I'd like to see him go back to some comedy roles again.

Any Tom Hanks movie is a must see, when it comes to verstility Tom can make any part his own.Have watched the movie several times and never tire of it

Great film, well made and gripping at times. Hanks was brilliant as ever, as was Jude Law. If you haven't seen it you must!

Tom Hanks performance was brilliant as usual. There was a good supporting cast, but not even this fact made this lact lustre movie worth viewing a second time.

The plot is very thin with predicitability. You already know how the movie will end long before it happens.

Yawn, someone tell me why we are watching this?

To sum it up in one word "Pants!".
