Kate and I saw Road to Perdition tonight.  It didn't suck.  I won't say it was great.  As Kate said, there were no gaping holes and that was refreshing.  (And no, we haven't been renting those kind of movies...).   I thought Paul Newman did a great job.  The visit to Prohibition era Chicago was a treat.  It really made me feel like I was in a bustling, glamorous crime-ridden place.  The movie totally succeeded in being about a father and son relationships and I really appreciated that and that is why I would recommend it.  However, I would have liked the gangster plot that was going on in the foreground to have more meaning because they put a ton of work into that in terms of costumes and mood and characters, but failed to make a punchy convincing plot that wove together all those tough characters.
