Road to Perdition follows the story of a gangster by the name of Mike Sullivan and his son named Michael Jr.. His younger son dies early in the movie ( shit sorry, that probably wrecks the movie ) and Mike's wife Annie.

The movie is trying very hard to be pure gangster style and it suceeds in some respects. The movie begins with Michael Jr. talking about his dad then the movie shifts to Mike's house which is followed by the family's trip to the main kingpin of Mike's gang.

Everything that happens in the movie is slow, and I mean real slow. Some people might appreciate the movie for that, the fact that it doesn't say more then it needs to but the problem with movies like this is that they make you go very very sleepy.

Connor is the main bad guy of the movie. Mainly because he is the son of kingpin Rooney and Rooney protects him no matter what he does. After Mike's son sneaks into his car and witnesses him killing people Connor decides that Mike's son can't be trusted so he kills his wife and son and attempts to kill Sullivan also. Sullivan and his son Michael manage to escape and go on a long road trip to revenge.

The movie's characters are a varied bunch and most of them are globe nominees or golden globe winners. Tom Hanks especially, does a good for of being Mike and Michael Jr., who's played by ( Tyler Hoechlin ) is also young talent that shows potential.

The worst about this movie I could think of is that it is heavilly lacking action scenes. One might say that the story doesn't need action scenes because it can support itself without them but I think it's just plain boring to watch a slow movie with nothing interesting in it.
