Road to Perdition

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2009)

Kate Winslet and Leo reunite after their Titanic ... experience. And while I still have resisted to watch the highest grossing movie ever, I was really anxious to watch this one. A friend of mine had told me, that it was one of the best movies he had watched in 2009. While some movies suffer from high expectations, this one didn't. It's high class drama (if there is such a word/phrase), dark and really "brutal" (not in an explicit kind of way).
Acting wise, Kate and Leo really give their best, but they have strong supporting cast to play with. There is one in particular, who also plays the part of comic relief. This is not a comedy (far from it), but those rare moments of comic relief are really needed and thrown in, at the right moments. If you thought, American Beauty was dark and twisted ... you ain't seen nothing yet (until you watch Reservation Road that is)!
