| Since "Stuart Little 2" tied with "Road to Perdition" for No. 1 at the
box
office its first week out, it seems only right to review them together.
Are
you a man or a mouse, Tom Hanks?
Of course, "Stuart" also has an Oscar-winner in its cast, the...more |

| I honestly have delayed writing this review for so long because I was

| Like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks has great sincerity. Here is an actor who always
brings authority and truth to his roles - a man who you believe you can trust.
Witness his range of work from "Philadelphia" to "Saving Private Ryan."
Therefore, as he once said...more |

| Tom Hanks' first major role in nearly two years, Road to Perdition, is not what
we have come to expect from Mr. Hanks. It is not your typical summer movie,
instead having the feel of a fall or winter release. It is not a movie where we
see yet another...more |

money who...more |

| "Perdition," among summer films, will be the road
less taken. It's an admirable film and it's
certainly watchable on all levels. But perhaps
it's just not quite the right type of movie
whilst we bake in the heat of the summer. Most
moviegoers are...more |

| Surprisingly lacking in personality, Sam Mendes' Road to Perdition, like his
American Beauty, is too pre-occupied with meeting genre standards to achieve
independent triumph. Attempting to craft a classic gangster film with coming
of age elements,...more |

| Murder is a cold and senseless act. Those who make it their life must by
necessity be hard and brutal men. Road to Perdition never flinches away from
that, but somehow, in the emotionally empty lives of mafia killers, finds
warmth, depth, and soul. more |
