Road to Perdition.
Powerful performances from both Paul Newman and Tom Hanks. Even the kid who portrayed Hank's son was excellent.
Hanks is a Mafia hitman working for Paul Newman. When Newman's character's son sets up a double cross on Hanks and causes the murder of his wife and youngest child, Hanks sets out on the run with his oldest son and thus begins a dramatic story of survival, revenge, and an even greater bonding between father and son.
This is one of those films that affects you greatly and leaves you thinking long after the credits have faded. Everything about this film is great: acting, writing, directing, cinematography. And Hanks, who not only portrays a cold-blooded hit-man, but a loving, caring father, has that great acting ability to repulse you on one hand, yet get your sympathy on the other. Not many actors can do that as well as Tom Hanks, who just gets more and more admiration from me with each new role he takes on.
If you haven't already seen this, then do yourself a favor and do so. You won't be sorry.
