Road To Perdition


As I think I've said before, I wouldn't say I'm neccessarily a huge fan of crime dramas. I like Tom Hanks though, so thought I would give it a go.

It's the story of hit man Michael Sullivan (Hanks) and his son. When the latter witnesses his father killing a man, they both find themselves on the run, fearing for their lives.

First off, when I was watching the names of the actors who were in it, I had absolutely no idea Daniel Craig was in it. I wish he had had a higher billing in this film, as I think his role is much much bigger and more important than Jude Law's role, who is probably only in the film for a maximum of 30 minutes.

The cinematography is wonderful. It's such a gorgeous looking film. The lighting, colours, wide shots are all excellent and really add to the atmosphere.

Thomas Newman composed the soundtrack to the film and I could tell straight away. It's an excellent soundtrack.

The acting is good, the plot is good (and not too hard to follow). I'd recommend this film.

7/10
