My favorite line by Newman ever. His failure as a father to his natural son, his pain at having to force his adopted son to kill the only dad he's ever known, all that pain is shown in Newman's eyes. My favorite Newman role ever.

The scene with the rain in my opinion is the greatest shot scene in movie history. You can hear the rain and silence as the bullets fly and the bodies fall. That silence rather than the sound of the machine gun is amazing followed by IM GLAD IT WAS YOU. Amazing.

The movies's cinematography was spectacular. Conrad Hall won the Oscar for Best Cinematography (posthumously). To establish the lighting of scenes in Road to Perdition, the paintings of Edward Hopper were a source of inspiration. Mendes and cinematographer Hall sought to convey similar atmospheric light for the many scenes, applying a "less is more" mantra. Hall also shot at wide apertures that retained one point in the depth of field sharply focused. He believed the technique provided an emotional dimension to a scene. He also used unconventional techniques to create unique lighting effects. One method was using black silk in daylight exterior scenes to render the light with an in-shade look.

What a powerful scene.. the driving rain, muted colors and sounds, then the line "im glad its you", followed by the blinding muzzle flash and thundering sound of the Thompson, showing the violence of the world they chose to live in, and the finality of the tools they carried, and just like the rain would eventually cover them all.

Mr. Rooney really should have hired better bodyguards... When the shooting starts, what do they do? Don't make any effort to get Mr. Rooney to safety, don't take cover themselves, don't run around the block and try to get the assailant from behind... Just stand there under the streetlight while a guy in the shadows mows them down. Haha. Kidding aside, it really is one of the greatest scenes in one of the greatest movies of all time. It's a shame that this isn't up there with Goodfellas and The Godfather.

The movie is about Fathers and Sons. Unconditional love. On the surface vengeance looks to be the theme. But it isn’t. Redemption isn’t as well. Mike wanted his son safe. Conner being alive meant he never would be. Rooney’s protection of his son was unconditional love. He chose his blood instead of an adopted son. Which we all would do. At least I think.

They had no idea where the gunfire was coming from, or how many gunmen they were facing. Remember when Rooney tried to open the door and found it locked? They didn't just started staring down the street, they started looking in every direction. They only could see what was within a few feet of them because they were standing directly underneath a streetlight. Hiding behind the car would have been pointless.
