road to perdition

The road to perdition is only 2.99 from WHSmiths and is worth getting; good movie.

To Everyone Else:
Did yiou really think it was amzinly amazing. Its a good film but on the box it says:the greatest gangster film since the GF. But it dont deseverve tht much credit.

Fourth best gangster fim since GF.

I rate Casino, Goodfellas, and Miller's Crossing higher.

I loved this movie. Don't understand why it was criticized so much. Maybe Hunk's face is too "good guyish" to be a credible gangster? Maybe it is considered too sappy. I don't know. All I can tell is that it touched me. And this makes the difference to me.

Good film,but not enough action for my liking

I haven't seen the movie? Is it a non-fiction movie, has is really happened? Are there some famous gangsters in the movie?

Paul Newman and Tom Hanks play the lead roles

that really bothers me. (GODFATHER II!!!)

all true, and there's a few others.

I thought perdition was good, i personally enjoy films about italians better. I thought it was a bit corny, trying too much to have that sort of "epic" feel to it. I don't know, mixed opinions overall. I'd have to see it again and really think about it to form a true opinon.

I don't believe that it is a true story but it does have Frank Nitti and Al Capone in it. (Capone is only in one of the deleted scenes.)

This was a very good film, one that I would definaetly rank up there with the Godfather.

I can't rank this anywhere near the Godfather (well maybe PartIII ). Perdition is a good movie to go see at the cinema but GF completely draws you in to the Corleone world. They're not in the same league .

Perdition is decent but not in the same league as Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, Donnie Brasco, etc. I like the story enough, but I don't buy Tom Hanks as a tough guy. He's been in too many sappy, feel-good, protaganist roles.

He didn't seem like a tough guy but I don't think he was trying to act like one(Hanks), he just needed money for his family.
