Still Worth Your Time - Road to Perdition

I mentioned this movie several years ago. I still like it, and I watched it again recently.

Tom Hanks plays the role of Mike Sullivan, an enforcer for the Irish Mob in a nameless Midwestern city. Paul Newman is his surrogate father, and head of that mob. Father and son. Conflict. Betrayal. And Jude Law playing an insane hitman hired by The Outfit out of Chicago.

Here is what I said before... 357 Magnum Archives: Movies You Haven’t Seen: Road to Perdition

It certainly has an amazing cast.

  • Tom Hanks
  • Jude Law
  • Daniel Craig
  • Paul Newman

and Tyler Hoechlin playing the part of Tom Hanks’ son.

It was lovingly filmed, and the way they recreated The Midwest of the Great Depression, including Chicago, was amazing.

You can find the trailer at this link.

As near as I can tell, it is streaming on Paramount+. I own a copy of the DVD. I may have to buy it as a Blu-ray, since they don't seem to have plans for a 4K release.
