Road To Perdition (2002)
This was one hell of a movie and Tom Hanks maybe one of the best actors living today. Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) plays Mike Sullivan, a gangster who tries to keep his life secret from his kids until his oldest son, Michael Sullivan Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin) watches his father kill someone. Sullivan and Connor Rooney (James Bond himself Daniel Craig) hear him and catch him and things go sour from then on. So, Connor's dad and leader John Rooney (The Late Paul Newman) order a hit on Sullivan and his whole family. The only problem is that they only killed his wife and his other son. So, Sullivan and his son are on the run from them and there also on the run from a ruthless assassin who likes to take pictures of dead people (Jude Law). Sullivan devises a plan to get back at them and it works because he frazzles them big time. The ending will piss you off, but it's not because it's a poorly thought ending, but because it aggravates you that it happened. I really suggest that you pick this one up because it's that damn good and it's full of caliber actors as well. It also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh (Single White Female) as Michael's wife, Ciaran Hinds (There Will Be Blood) as Finn, Dylan Baker (Revolutionary Road) as Alexander Rance, and Stanley Tucci (Julia & Julia) as Frank Nitti. I give this movie an A.
