Road to Perdition (2002)

When Road to Perdition came out, someone said that each frame was a painting, so it didn’t win an Oscar for its cinematography for nothing. Directed by Sam Mendes (Skyfall), and starring Tom Hanks as a mob enforcer, Road to Perdition offers very little of what you might expect from a comic book movie, besides the visuals.

Nonetheless, many people empathized with the characters in the story, which is about the lengths a father will go to to protect his child from a violent way of life.

Other cast members included Paul Newman (nominated for an Academy Award), Jude Law, Daniel Craig, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Ciarán Hinds. If you haven’t seen this one, check it out; it’s more than worth your while!
