1931. Mike Sullivan and Connor Rooney are two henchmen of elderly downstate IL-based Irish-American mobster John Rooney, Connor's father. In many respects, John treats Mike more as his son, who he raised as his own after Mike was orphaned, than the volatile Connor, who nonetheless sees himself as the heir apparent to the family business. One evening, Mike's eldest son, twelve year old Michael Sullivan Jr., who has no idea what his father does for a living, witnesses Connor and his father gun down an associate and his men, the situation gone wrong initiated from an action by Connor. Caught witnessing the incident, Michael is sworn to secrecy about what he saw. Regardless, Connor, not wanting any loose ends, makes an attempt to kill Mike, his wife and their two sons. Mike and the surviving members of his family know that they need to go on the run as Connor, who has gone into hiding, will be protected through mob loyalty, especially by John, who cannot turn on his own flesh and blood. Still, Mike has to figure out a way for retribution for what Connor did, while still protecting him and his family, not only from Connor, but from John and his fellow associates. Through it all, Mike wants those in his family that had no say in what he chose as a living, to have some redemption for their eternal souls.

Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Brian MckayIntrospective, while never feeling ponderous ... The strength of the performances lies in their subtlety ...long, arduous, and heartbreaking - and worth every step of the journey.
Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) - 10/10 by Greg MakiEasily the best movie so far in 2002, Road to Perdition holds its own against the finest films any year has to offer.
Cincinnati Enquirer - 10/10 by Margaret A. McGurkThoughtful, profound, elegant and riveting.
Lawrence Journal-World - 10/10 by Jon Niccum[Sam Mendes] balances visceral action with emotional resonance, never drifting too far away from the thread of what is essentially a very simple storyline.
Cinema Signals - 10/10 by Jules BrennerThe result may have some flaws but the artists involved may be commended for creating something that's provocative enough to linger in the thoughts of the cinematically disposed mind.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 10/10 by Peter RainerThe pulp shows clearly through the high-art preening: It isn't prominent enough to be fun, and the art, with few exceptions, isn't high enough to justify all the moody-blues meaningfulness.
TheFilmFile.com - 10/10 by Dustin PutmanHas an underlyingly hopeful current running throughout, but at its soul is one of an impossible heartbreak that can never be fully mended.
San Diego Union-Tribune - 10/10 by David ElliottThe best gangster movie since The Godfather.
Jam! Movies - 10/10 by Louis B. HobsonTechnically, Perdition is a brilliantly conceived and executed film.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA rigorously structured and exquisitely filmed drama about a father and son connection that is a brief shooting star of love.
