Customer Ratings & Reviews

I liked the movie. Tom Hanks played his role well.

Only 3 stars for this one because it does not have a good ending in it. That is just my opinion though. I like Tom Hanks in movies and can recommend it to collect,

Such an underrated movie. Such an awesome story and Tom Hanks acting is awesome as usual

Sam Mendes' best film, "Road to Perdition" tells the compelling story of a hitman Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks). His son (Tyler Hoechlin) sees his father's dirty work accidentally one night. The father drives his son away while another man (Jude Law) comes after them with the intention of killing. Paul Newman also gives a great performance as Tom Hanks' character's surrogate father; it's certainly one of his best roles since "The Verdict." This is a slow-paced film that barely earns its R-rating, and I like the film because of it. If it were fast-paced and ridiculously bloody, the story wouldn't work. The scenes involving the bank robberies and the scene where Michael Sullivan teaches his son how to drive are my favorites. I'd say this is Sam Mendes' best film because -- unlike "American Beauty" -- it has rewatchability. I've watched it three times, and I'll watch it again within the next year. The DVD's transfer is pretty good. The making-of is informative, but it could have been lengthier. The deleted scenes were great as was the director's commentarial reasons for deleting the scenes. Highly recommended.

Mike Sullivan (Tom Hanks) works as a hit man for John Rooney, considering him more of a father figure than a crime boss. Sullivan's son witnesses a murder, which sends both himself and son on the lamb, trying to hide, while wanting payback. Tom Hanks is great as always, while the hired hit-man, Harlen (Jude Law) is icing on the cake. The movie makes you question yourself what's more important: your loyalty or family?

This is a classic story of a mob hit-man (Tom Hanks). The basic theme is a man getting revenge for his family being murdered. The original storyline coming from a comic book masterminds image. A must see for folks who enjoy a gangster family plot. Outstanding performances from the actors.

Tom Hanks and especially Jude Law are fantastic in this very underrated "gangster" drama/ Blu ray represents great picture and sound quality for older catalog title from Paramount

Tom Hanks carries another fantastic performance and delivers a great movie. If you like Tommy guns and great plots this ones for you

This is a great movie with awesome action, story and acting. This looks and sounds great!

Great movie, the kind you enjoy watching over and over. Action packed.

I was quite shocked to find this film, which I figured would be exceptional, somewhat disappointing. It's not a bad movie in any sense, I guess I just had higher expectations. Some good bonus features here, including director's commentary, but fans with surround sound home theater systems will probably want to opt for the dvd version featuring DTS.

This is a pretty good movie. Hanks does a good job.

this full-screen dvd version alters the original theatrical aspect ratio of the movie from 2.35:1 to 1.33:1, giving a picture in which you lose almost 50% of the image on each side in every frame. Purchase one of the widescreen versions.
