- Road to Perdition is a 2002 American crime film directed by Sam Mendes. The screenplay was adapted by David Self from the graphic novel of the same name by Max Allan Collins. The film stars Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law, and Daniel Craig. The plot takes place in 1931, during the Great Depression, following a mob enforcer and his son as they seek vengeance against a mobster who murdered the rest of their family. Filming took place in the Chicago area. Mendes, having recently finished 1999's acclaimed American Beauty, pursued a story that had minimal dialogue and conveyed emotion in the imagery. Cinematographer Conrad L. Hall took advantage of the environment to create symbolism for the film, for which he won several awards, including a posthumous Academy Award for Best Cinematography. The film explores several themes, including the consequence of violence and father-son relationships. The film was released on July 12, 2002, and eventually grossed over $180 million worldwide. The cinematography, setting, and the lead performances by Hanks and Newman were well received by critics. A home media release debuted on February 25, 2003.

The dignified portrayal of a felon is the best thing that could happen to the modern day cinema. When others are busy saving the world from Iraq and aliens, Sam Mendes breaks out of the rut and delivers a classis work of art, a masterpiece in the cinema of poise set in the post depression era. The camera work is complementary to the class direction and acting. Newman in another of unforgettable roles. Some scenes that deserve a special mention are the shoot sequences in the rain, the silent one towards the end, the character played by Jude law, the talk Hanks has with the landlady about children, his scene with his son where he talks about his inclination towards Mike, the scene at the bar where Mike negotiates his share of the robbed money with Michael, and of course the climax scene where Michael is happy when Mike tells him, Dad, I just could not do it.
