NOZ Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Contemplating buying this one, but have never seen it. Anyone seen it? Any comments? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj993 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I think the movie was pretty good. Overall the plot was very good. Just depends on what kind of movies you like. I saw that it is for sale and am thinking of picking it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Na, I haven't I want to though. I have not seen a Tom Hanks movie that I didn't like so I taking the assumption this will be another great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOZ Posted March 1, 2003 Author Share Posted March 1, 2003 Thanks for the input guys. WOW I posted the same post in DVD's etc.. and no views at all. I posted it here and quick replies. Can we get the bb to put that topic back up on top where it was before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I have not seen Road to Perdition. I just might buy it tonight, we are having a 1940's themed party tonight. It is Glenn Miller's Birthday ya know. We even had murals painted on the walls. It looks awesome. The heresy's are down there playing some big band What time period does R2P take place? I just bought Formula 51 starrying Samuel L. The Badass Jackson. Beats up like 6 thugs with a 9 iron. Classic! I must say, the acting is not that great and the language is terrible... why do they feel they have to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerSix Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 NOZ, I have the movie. Very good. It's a slight departure from Tom Hanks typical movies, but enjoyable from beginning to end. Great supporting cast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edster00 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 We watched it last night, a very good flick IMHO. It even has some scenes with deep bass...rattled the pictures on the walls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckears Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I saw it at the theater, and bought it last week... if you're bothered by moderate violence and killing (like my wife), it probably isn't for you. I enjoyed it; I liked the soundtrack so well, I went out and bought it within a week after seeing it last year (soundtrack by Thomas Newman, who did American Beauty - I guess Sam Mendes, who directed both, digs him).

NOZ Posted March 1, 2003 Author Share Posted March 1, 2003 Sounds like it's a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 The cheap moralizing at the end by the character played by Hanks made me want to throw up. The bible says: Thou Shalt Not Murder. The message of this movie seems to be: thou shalt not kill. Most clerics don't seem to understand the difference, so I'm not surprised that theater goers don't either. The person that wrote this screen play is sick. Hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Watched it last night also and I would recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleandan Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I rented this last weekend. I like Tom Hanks movies, as they are usually watchable at the very least. The point, or direction, a movie takes you is directly based upon your personal experiences, level of knowledge, and beliefs. This means I will not try to tell you what the movie is "about", that is for you to decide. There are quite a few moral referances, both inferred, and almost blatant. One of them being, what comes around, goes around. There are many moral tests, of which almost every character must either pass or fail, and then deal with the consequences. There is violence, and very slight gore, but anyone 14yrs, or older, should be able to handel this with no problems whatsoever. The story is pretty good, the plot flows nicely, the characters are mostly belivable, the sequence of events is easy to follow, and if you let it, you do feel some empathy for almost every character, no matter how good, bad, innocent, cruel, or whatever. I liked the movie, and would watch it again, but not enough to go buy it. Good luck. PERDITION: To lose; The loss of the soul; Hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbL Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Interesting movie, incredible photography/cinematography, great acting...overall I'd give it 6 on a 10:1 scale, 10 high. SCARFACE with Al Pacino is the movie you want to have! Robb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flason Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I hate to spoil this for you Hanks fans but: If I see one more movie where a whale guides him to a freighter, someones gonna DIE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
