There was a lot of great acting in this movie, and Sam Mendes and his crew should be commended for how beautifully pictured "Road to Perdition" turned out, but honestly, I left this movie completely unmoved. I didn't care a whit about any characters, save for Sullivan's wife and kids, and that was only because they were the only innocents.
I'm very surprised that I didn't like this movie - Hanks was good against type, Jude Law was creepy, and the kid was creepier. With about 20 minutes to go, however, it was obvious what was going to happen. Ten minutes later, I was ready to go.
Lots of hype doesn't make a movie "the best gangster movie ever," as I've seen written here.
