The desperate heart of early industrial America
A fine movie, with a neat theme of a father having to hide his true profession from his son, who nonetheless glimpses the truth one harrowing night. Good film noir mood. Excellent acting. Nice material to ponder on children's perceptions of their parent's work.

Violent--very--but excellent acting and plot...
This movie was --obviously-- very violent, but it had a great father-son relationship toward the end of the movie and I enjoyed it. Very--oh-- interestingly coolish....yeh...

Good movie.
A great masterpiece with a message. Contains several bloody murders and may be disturbing for youngsters. Teenagers above the age of 16 may enjoy this movie.

EPIC MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!
It is such a good movie. Fairly violent, though not excessive like in other R movies. The language is a bit bad, though there is only about 10 "f" words, one pu**y, one d**k, 3 d**ns, 2 s**ts, and a couple hells.

This brutal but hauntingly beautiful looking movie is for adults only
Road to Perdition is a odd little film. On one side, it was a huge box office success back in the summer of 2002, it won an Oscar for best cinematography, which it most certainly deserved, and it got raved reviews from critics. But, on the other side, it was quickly forgotten by the director and shoved away in the back closet for other films to come like Jarhead, Revolutionary Road and Away we go. And, while it is rather harsh that that happened, I think that that is actually pretty fair considering the fact that it already was a big success, so, I guess you could say that, what goes around, comes around. But, despite the movies visual brilliance, powerful performances and memorable side characters, Road to Perdition is manly just a exercise in style and well acted performances. Still, that doesn't mean that it isn't a entertaining one, by any means at all. But, there is plenty of well deserved R rated content in the movie: There is infrequent but very strong brutal violence including many, many gunfights and head shots. Also, there is extremely infrequent but moderate sexual content with a brief scene in a strip club which also includes some explicit sexual dialog. Finally, there is also frequent and moderate profanity including f--k, d-ck, h-ll, sh-t and more. So, if you are on of the many viewers who have long forgotten this Oscar winning and stylish drama, than check it out and relive it all over again.
