From director Sam Mendes comes the period crime drama Road to Perdition. Based on a graphic novel, when the wife and youngest son of mob enforcer Michael Sullivan are murdered he turns against his boss in order to get revenge. Starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, and Jude Law, the film has an impressive cast. And, Mendes's directing is excellent; creating a rich, atmospheric tone. The score by Thomas Newman is also exceptionally good. However, the characters are poorly developed and aren't very engaging. Road to Perdition has a few bumps, but it's a remarkably compelling and beautiful looking film.
