Road to Perdition (2002)
Tom Hanks, Jude Law and Paul Newman (in one of his final roles) star in this film based on a graphic novel which was inspired by a manga series. Tom Hanks works for the mob as a hit man and enforcer but when his son witnesses a murder they end up on the run from the mob and seeking revenge.
This is the second film directed by Sam Mendes and the direction and cinematography here are amazing, the atmosphere and tone of the film are excellent through out. The plot is simplistic but draws you in and the themes of the consequences of a violent life or violence in general and fathers and sons runs well through out. How the relationships between the main characters is set up works really well to reflect and contrast on each other.
5/5 a must see!
