Road to Perdition (2002)

[DanielJones]

Bonds of loyalty are put to the test when a hitman's son witnesses what his father does for a living.

It doesn't seem that this film is that old now. Based on a Graphic Novel by Max Allan Collins and Richard Piers Rayner. Again, a visually stunning film of the golden era. Great cast, well acted & the cinematography was excellent. The set designs, especially the Rooney house interior were stunning. I wish I could have an interior of my home to look like that. The costuming was excellent as well, another hat & overcoat to covet. Tall crown, no taper... Hmmm.









Cheers!

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it really captured the era perfectly. And being of Irish ancestry, it didn't hurt that this was about the Irish mob.

Thanks for the great photos. I saw this film years ago, have to check it out again. How would you describe the hat? I'm thinking 5-1/2" center-dent crown with a 2-1/2" brim and a 2" ribbon.

[DanielJones]

I would say somewhat Indyesque with either and overwelt brim or a bound brim.

Cheers!

I watched this again a couple weeks ago the movie doesn't get old.

A couple of basic small-arms errors...but that's my only complaint. Which for any movie - especially a period one - says a lot about quality in my estimate.

I'll have to re-watch this one. It's been some time since I've seen it...loved it the first time though.

Really good flick. Holds up well over time.

I want to watch this and Public Enemies back to back.

Personally I say watch this and forget about Public Enemies.

Personally I say watch this and forget about Public Enemies.

Agreed. PUBLIC ENEMIES was a huge disappointment for me. Great period feel, great guns, cars and clothing. But it's dull as dishwater.

So, would you say it's as exciting as whale bunk?

I own copies of "Road To Perdition" and "Public Enemies," and I can tell you that I've seen "Road" more times since I bought "Public" then "Public" itself. I could only sit through it from start to finish once. Since then I can only watch some parts of it, then go back and watch it some more, then finish it later.

It's not out of a lack of trying.

I suppose it would depend if the whale bunk was being launched at you from a sick whale while you were swimming near said whale. Then you are in for sime serious excitement.

When I said Id like to watch them back to back, it was for, among other reasons, comparison. Now that Ive had your 'previews,' I'll watch it anyway, so there ha!
