Product Description

Encore tout auréolé du succès public et critique d’American Beauty, le réalisateur Sam Mendes se paye le luxe de réunir Tom Hanks, Paul Newman et Jude Law dans son second long métrage, Road to Perdition, film de genre fort réussi, même s’il semble avoir été “formaté” pour obtenir des récompenses.

Dans les années 30, près de Chicago, Michael Sullivan est l’homme de main d’un parrain de la pègre irlandaise. Lorsque Michael Jr., 12 ans, surprend les activités de son père qu’il idolâtre, le fils du patron voudra s’assurer de son silence en assassinant la famille Sullivan. Le meurtre de la mère et du fils cadet laissera le père et Michael Jr. seuls face à leurs destins.

Trahison, honneur, loyauté, responsabilité : tous les grands sentiments humains semblent s’être donné rendez-vous le long de cette Voie de perdition. S’il offre une véritable réflexion sur la paternité et la filiation, le film est avant tout une reconstitution consciencieuse de l’époque et de l’esprit mythiques des films de gangsters. Mendes conjugue en effet décors, costumes, musique et éclairage et nous convie à une visite fouillée du genre. Sa réalisation calme et sereine, empreinte d’un grand classicisme, où certaines prises de vue relèvent d’une véritable poésie, traduit la profonde humanité des personnages sans jamais verser dans la sensiblerie. Road to Perdition souffre pourtant d’un mal rare : celui d’être parfois un peu trop parfait. --Helen Faradji

5.0 out of 5 stars Respect to the source...THE COMIC BOOK! Jun 15 2004
By lando
Format:DVD
A different approach to comic media has spawn an unbelievable guideline to the making of one of the best gangster movie and also one of the best comic book adaptation since THE CROW. Well done indeed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hanks is unbelievably too honest in this role July 22 2004
By John Colville
Format:DVD
"The Road to Perdition" has a great cast, a good script and high production values, although its ironically expensive, Depression (1931) setting seems oddly out of place in post-9/11 production. Tom Hanks, fresh from the remarkable HBO production of "Band of Brothers", seemed to nudge "Perdition" into Oscar nomination territory by the sheer resonance of his transportable, good-guy character. There are days, these days, when Hanks might be the only honest person left in the Western world.

He's too good for the role of Sullivan, a family hit man who works for "Mr. Rooney", the latter played with great depth by an appropriately wizened Paul Newman. Picture Gabriel Byrne, dressed for "Miller's Crossing", in Tom's place, and you have the needed twist. And yet, such is the lovability factor of Hanks, he'd be sadly missed.

The "Perdition" story's undertow goes essentially like this: Your puppy is fine - he's been sent, along with a Gladstone bag of money, to live on a particularly desirable and believable, midwestern pre-vinyl farm.

5.0 out of 5 stars A customer's opinion July 20 2005
By A Customer
Format:DVD
The first time I saw this movie was at a friend's house on his home theatre. As soon as I heard the beautiful Thomas Newman score and observed the gorgeous cinematography, I knew I would love this film. The acting is excellent and the story intriguing. There are many images which stay with me, especially the gun fight in the rain and Tom Hanks subsequent trip to the hotel to settle the score. Very powerful. This film has an old-time, epic movie feel to me. If you enjoy good cinema, then you may enjoy this movie.
