Review of Road to Perdition (2002) by C Allen J — 14 Feb 2017
Ultimate authentic, stylish 30's gangster film, but more than that- the story of a son's love for a father whose violent career is at odds with his otherwise moral and 'ordinary' family life.
Spectacular performances by Hanks who masters the good and evil aspects of Sullivan, and the iconic Paul Newman, the Irish mob boss who was his mentor and employer. The Thomas Newman score is haunting, sentimental, memorable.
I cannot recommend highly enough. More brilliant direction by Sam Mendes. *****.
