Tom Hanks says no one ever brings up the graphic novel adaptation Road to Perdition to him. 'For one reason or another, no one references Road to Perdition, and that was an incredibly important movie for me to go through.'
Legendary Hollywood star, Tom Hanks, recently revealed the one movie people rarely ask him about. Hanks began his career in the early 80s with small roles in film and television before scoring a lead role in the gender-bending sitcom, Bosom Buddies. He soon made a name for himself in the 1984 Ron Howard-directed romantic comedy, Splash, where his character Allen Bauer falls in love with a mermaid.
The actor called the film one of his most "important" to date and singled out the film's cast as a particular strong point. Released in the summer of 2002, Road to Perdition was met with immediate praise by both critics and audiences alike, praising the acclaimed cast's performances, the taut script by David Self, and the film's stunning visuals.
People always say, "What movies will they be talking about years from now?" As a guy who watches Turner Classic Movies a lot, the more obscure and unknown a movie from the 1940s or 1950s the better, because I have no preconceived notions about it. I don’t know anything about it. When you watch those movies, and it’s crackerjack, and it’s incredibly moving, all I can think of is, "I’m so glad this movie lasts forever, so I got a chance to revisit it now.
