Road To Perdition is just a fine crafted, gorgeous to look at old-time gangster tale with a great story and superb cast. It's just short of becoming a masterpiece.
My favorite film of last year and I agree that it may be just a bit short as Ron says.
The look of this film has been commented on so much that I was very glad when it won an Oscar. The look to me was nostalgic in that it took me back to my youth. The story is not about the son, but the whole look of the film draws you into the perspective on a 10-12 year old. It is almost as if you have blinders on and only get to see what is in front of you and close up. A gun case is thrown in the back seat of a model A and you get to study the texture of the case, and of the fabric of the seat. A very unusual cinematic treatment, but very very much appreciated.
The look was very good at conveying that drab, gray, overcast, snow covered, rainy look of winter. The DVD is not off, that is the way it is supposed to look.
