Overall I was quite disappointed with this film, mainly due to being a big fan of the comic and the fact it was hyped up to be the best thing since sliced bread by most film review magazines.
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.

One of Tom Hanks' best performances. The film is stylish, brutal, and incredibly moving. One can't help but appreciate the themes that this film at least takes the time to explore.
I liked this film a lot. It was very dark and brutal but the actors made it work. Tom Hanks was excellent, as he usually is, and really draws you into the story. Everything about this film worked.

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
WOULD PEOPLE PLEASE STOP PUTTING MOVIES IN 'MORE LIKE THIS' JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME STAR.
