It was a little slow and boring at times, but it was a pretty good movie otherwise.

A great Tom Hanks movie where you really feel for the characters. The second-half is thrilling, but I was disappointed by the ending that just felt too contrived and predictable.

Something different for Hanks, Newman and Craig. A not bad adaptation of the graphic novel.

Critic Reviews
Directed by Sam Mendes, this movie might not be as flashy as his Oscar-winning American Beauty, but it's a smarter film, more mature and emotionally honest. full review
Like all films that count for something, this stunner gets under your skin. full review
After I saw Road to Perdition, I knew I admired it, but I didn't know if I liked it. I am still not sure. It is cold and holds us outside. full review
For its textured visual detail, casting and snaking narrative, The Road to Perdition is a trip worth taking, though the recommendation comes with reservations. full review
Neither a good Paul Newman nor a bad Tom Hanks can save this dreary art-house flick from the airless grip of American Beauty director Sam Mendes. full review
