Raincoats and Regrets - Road to Perdition review by griggs
Road to Perdition is moody, mournful prestige pulp, wrapped in a father-son tragedy. Hanks swaps charm for cold resolve, Newman oozes weary gravitas, and Jude Law slithers in as a ghoulish photographer. The plot’s simple, but the atmosphere does the heavy lifting—rain, silence, and glances speak louder than gunfire. Conrad Hall’s cinematography is gorgeous: every frame could hang in a gallery. It’s not flashy, but it hits hard—an elegy told in shadows and silence.
