The road to perdition

The Road to Perdition is a film adapted from a graphic novel, starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law, Tyler Hoechlin and Daniel Craig. Tom Hanks plays a body guard cross assassin for a crime syndicate, until he is forced to flee with his only remanining son after his wife and other son are killed by the syndicate. It is a tail of survival set during the great depression as the pair travel towards perdition in search of safety. It deals with the father son relationship and you watch them grow into friends throughout the film, while they evade and cause trouble for the syndicate along the way.

When I watched this film I was not expecting much. The name and the cover did not inspire me, however I'm glad I did as it is now one of my all time favourites.
