I love the beyond beautiful cinematography and how the 'roaring' image of the 1920s is undermined by themes of violence and coldness. The cast is stellar, especially Paul Newman and Daniel Craig as father and son (it would have been great to see some more of their troubled relationship), and, last but not least, Jude Law as a remarkable, perfectly creepy villain.

Aside from the brilliant performances and cinematography, I would say that the strongest element of this film would be the beautiful father son relationship. Also Jude Law was especially wonderful as a very nasty villain.

There's something magical and dream-like about Road To Perdition. I remember seeing it for the first time. And the second time and the third. The picture means quite a bit to me, the father-son relationship resonating the strongest. It's shot with beauty, clarity and intention. I love the structure, the themes of innocence lost and the reversal of revenge to preservation of good. A perfect movie.
