The Road to Perdition

4/5 stars

Wow. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this was far better.

Tom Hanks plays Mike Sullivan, a hit man working for a mob boss, John Rooney. One night, Sullivan’s son sneaks along on a job, to see what it is that his dad does. He sees everything in gory detail. This puts the entire family at risk, and Sullivan does what he has to to ensure the safety of his son.

Andrew’s comment that he wishes we’d seen it on the big screen, since many of the scenes would have been more spectacular. I must agree.
