|
|
During the hard times of the Great Depression two children of Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) go on like nothing can touch them while they enjoy decent meals, happy moments, and live in a large house. However, all the luxuries have a price that the oldest of the two sons discovers during one night when he shadows his father as he is carrying out the work assigned to him by his boss John Rooney (Paul Newman). This event becomes traumatizing for Michael Sullivan, Jr. and it leads to more bloodshed. The violence draws the son closer to his father and as they get closer, the father becomes aware of his own path in life, but can he save his sons' path to eternal damnation (i.e., perdition)? Road to Perdition uses cunning cinematography that enhances the moments of crucial significance in the story. Combined with the outstanding cast, the director expands the texture of the film with a genuine touch of the 1930s and human ambiguity. The film offers a dark heartfelt cinematic experience that offers both contemplative work and fascinating entertainment, which fan the sense of suspense and action. |
