Hughe J The Road to Perdition was released in theatres in 2002 and is a criminally underrated movie with some excellent performances by it's star studded cast. It stars Tom Hanks as Michael Sullivan, Paul Newman as John Rooney, Jude Law as Maguire, Stanley Tucci as Frank Nitti, Daniel Craig as Connor Rooney and many more. The film is set during the great depression in the United States where Sullivan is John Rooney's enforcer. Sullivan's son witnesses a murder and Rooney order's the family's death but Sullivan escapes with his oldest son to take revenge. That's a very simplistic summary that doesn't do the movie justice. Hanks is just excellent here dealing with his son after the loss of his family. Newman also shines in his role and was nominated for best supporting actor. The score by Thomas Newman was phenomenal and one of the best I've heard in any movie complimenting every scene. Then there's the fact that this is a period piece movie that feels like the 30's. I loved everything about this film including the ending and it's such an easy movie to recommend.

I always love the mafia movies especially old school ones Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Jake S. The most underrated gangster film of all-time Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Gary G No other crime movie, with the exception of maybe The Godfather, evokes an atmosphere like this one. It envelopes you in Depression-era and the birth of organized crime that occurred thanks to Prohibition. It unapologetically revels in revenge, and sucks you in even as you recognize the evil that underlies it all. There isn't a weak performance anywhere. The cinematography is breathtaking, the acting is superb, and the directing moves the story along beautifully. I was astounded to learn this movie was adapted from a graphic novel, but who cares? It's a completely absorbing masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Tyler S Really good movie. A compelling story that stays strong the whole time.
