GazerRise Fantastic!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
vinothyv Well crafted script with top notch performances and stunning photography. Perfect blend for a period film... All set for a ride... Just lived it
arjunflamingfeather Father and son relationship strikes thesis; topics include Dante words like 'inferno'. The use of old English or the word 'Perdition' in the title brought our attention to the road a cross road because two paths are present; a self absorbing path and a self giving path. Absorbing a movie in the cinema hall feels easier than at the computer because reviewing a movie that became a memory because it was a feature film lead us to review and send invites to criticize movies. Later opinions about the movie called ' Road to Perdition' staring Tom Hanks is set in the era when guns like 'Tommy Guns' were still in the custody of gangsters. Cinema makes us sure of ourselves because a sequence of pictures tell a story which proves that we are human beings who are bellow the poverty line and need to rise in wealth; individual tax and income certification. Finding a country with three percent tax payers is the third world nation but without accepting reality that success comes from failure, writing. Success in movies like a feature film titled 'Road To Perdition' with cast and crew who made the movie a success; then the rise out of poverty. Struggling to be an individual lead us here to review movies like this one starring 'Tom Hanks' called 'Road To Perdition'.
localbum24-1 I've never really understood the acclaim for this film and was reminded as to why this evening. There was huge hype when it came out, exclusively because it was Hanks at the peak of his fame matched with the legend of Paul Newman. But a great one-two punch means nothing when the story is bland and cliché. And for that matter, Tom Hanks couldn't be less believable as a gangster. Road to Perdition has simply always been overrated.
Roberto Alvarez 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."
