The Road to Perdition. I've seen it about a hundred times now and it's just a brilliant film, visual stunning and so well acted. It's only major fault is that they didn't go with the original ending from the graphic novel it's based which was much better imo. Still brilliant all the same, 8/10.

I thought it was ok myself. I admittedly didn't have very high expectations going into watching it but I don't think it deserves some of the more harsh reviews/criticism it's taken.

Extraction !
Bought the dvd because of the gorgeous Gina Carano was in it !
Sadly not a great film, & sadly Gina Carano wasn't in it enough !

One of my favourites, I'd probably give it 10/10.
Great performances all round, Jude Law and Daniel Craig playing parts nothing like their usual. Paul Newman's last role too wasn't it?
What was the original ending?

During the course of the graphic novel you learn more about the farther's past and the fact that he's a very guilty Catholic because of all the terrible things he's done that he's never been ale to confess to in church. In the end when he's dying he chooses to go to the nearest church rather then try and drive to a hospital and makes his last confession to a priest and dies in the confession booth. It then has similar dialogue to the end of the film about what the lad says when he's asked about his farther however in this ending it's revealed that the kid stayed in Perdition at the orphanage and on the very last page it's revealed that he went onto become a priest at the very same church his farther died. The whole story is supposed to be the his memoirs of his time on the road with his father and his confession . The final line is after he walks into the confession booth and the man on the other side says the normal 'forgive me father for I have sinned' which is the last thing we see Michael O'Sullivan say and takes the story full circle.
It's much more involved because they have so much more time to work with in the graphic novel and I understand why they choose not to use that ending because of time constraints but it feels like a much bigger and a more unexpected ending and more fitting to the tone of the story. Because he feels like he's honouring his father's memory. Steven Spielberg says he to prefers the graphic novels ending which its author Max Allen Collins (great writer) says is the greatest compliment he's ever received.
Hope I haven't bored you to much with this mini essay!
