Road to Perdition - Tom Hanks

Just finished watching this totally cool movie. Road to Perdition is a 2002 period drama film directed by Sam Mendes. Why do I like about this movie?? Jeez, I dunno.. maybe this movie has 4 heavyweight actors in it? Kekeke... Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law and Daniel Craig. I love Tom Hanks especially. No doubt he is another charismatic and talented actor. Love his movie since small. Another 2 more reasons to watch this movie, are because it revolves father-son relationship thru hardship in this mafia enviroment ala Godfather and because the of name, Michael Sullivan, which Tom Hanks portrayed. Dunno why. Just love the sound of it in the movie. Michael. Mike Sullivan. Kekekeke.....

Hanks stars as an enforcer who is forced to flee with his son from the crime syndicate for whom he had worked, and to ensure that his son does not become like him. Road to Perdition explored the themes of violence's consequences and the relationship between father and son.

Check out Tom Hanks in new latest movie, Charlie Wilson's War. Based on George Crile's book about the CIA's largest and most successful covert CIA operation, the arming of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The covert ops were engineered by Charlie Wilson (Hanks), a charismatic, wheeler-dealer, liberal Texas congressman who teamed with a rogue CIA operative (Huffman). The two manipulated Congress, the CIA and a host of foreign governments in order to assist the Afghan rebels in their fight against the Soviets in the 1980s. Many of the men armed by the CIA went on to become the Taliban's enforcers and Osama bin Laden's protectors. ENJOY the trailer. Totally awesome.
