And Daniel Craig was very good too!
By younglochinvar (66 reviews) from Prestatyn , 18 Sep 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Intelligent and thought provoking and, with the exception of Jude Law's over the top hitman, very well acted. Newman as always is brilliant as is Tom Hank's take on a gangster of that era. Great direction, particularly the gunfire in the dark.- Was this review helpful to you?

(220)Stylish, but lacking a little heart
By theorganicdomino (22 reviews) , 07 May 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Style over substances doesn't quite fairly describe it, but there is a definite imbalance in favour of the visuals. Its not a cold movie just not warm enough. There's enough here to keep you watching but you never quite emotionally connect with the characters, we're not given enough time to know them - plus they're emotionally distant anyway. Hanks, never my favourite actor, seems ill at ease in his role too (definite case of Kate Winslet syndrome - he's often acting in inverted commas). The plot is simplistic and predictable; you'll see the ending a mile off as there's so little in the way of narrative all there are is clues as to how it'll all turn out. Most irritatingly Thomas Newman's score repeats recognisable phrases from his score for American Beauty. Watchable but not completely worthwhile.- Was this review helpful to you?

A superb film
By a customer , 03 May 2013A superb film. Convincing actors and story, great cinematography and musical score. Above all it is a film that arouses strong feelilngs: empathy, revenge, anger, betrayal, redemption and more; something that so much of Hollywood's output fails to do these days.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great Road Movie!!!
By tisheau (86 reviews) from Craigavon , 14 Apr 2013What a fitting tribute to a great cinematographer - Conrad L Hall. The attention to detail: costume/props, lighting, screenplay, music, camera work, locations, sets, editing, makeup, ALL the acting makes this a masterclass in how to hold an audience's attention and leave them with a lasting impression There are no gimmicks, just really solid movie making, sweeping you back to the 1930s and taking your breath away.- Was this review helpful to you?

ANOTHER CLASSIC ABOUT THE 30s
By Burnhamite (379 reviews) from BURNHAM , 13 Apr 2013Chicargo in the thirties will always be the ideal setting for real gangster thrillers and thr Road to Perdition adds to a very long list. A tremendous cast to top class actors bring this interesting tale to a dramatic climax. Well worth watching- Was this review helpful to you?
