I don't see how your opinion about Road to Perdition can be affected by The Godfather if you say it's a family drama, because other than a really small similar setting - the mafia - these movies have little in common many other films does not have as well.


It's a father-son lovestory, albeit different from the Vito-Michael one, which you can see in romantic comedies, crime films, even superhero movies.

Road to Perdition to me is a visual movie. The cinematography is fantastic, the settings and costumes in modest greenish tint, and the score...ahh the score... beautiful. It helps three acclaimed actors are in the lead, and all of these elements for the senses make up for the shallow story, which is like I said nothing more but a fahter-son relationship. It just happens to be connected with the mob.

8/10
