...something more than the sum of its parts; namely, a gripping, touching, entertaining motion picture.

Sam Mendes's 2002 follow-up to American Beauty finds him every bit as adept, arty, and Oscar hungry.

So is Perdition still a must-see? No question. But it's tough to fuss about it much when a picture is this fussy.

Very little of Road to Perdition lingers, except for a feeling that you've been carried along.

What makes the movie pay off is moving pictures of real action and of intimate scenes between man and boy that are all the more moving for being understated.

Crisply, starchily self-conscious in its efforts to be a gangster epic. A pretty-enough remote place, with its rain and snow and fedoras and trenchcoats, but it's still a long way from Boardwalk Empire and Miller's Crossing.

Gangsters. Parents. Children. Honor. 'Road to Perdition' is all this and more, perhaps too perfect or too calculated, but with great cinema in it. [Full review in Spanish]

Visually, the picture is all of a piece, but it's a self-conscious piece of work -- all dark-toned academic classicism.
