I watched this years ago, and I didn't get it. I am glad I gave it another try. Mike is a compelling character who had no option but to join a mob. Despite his loyalty, his family is destroyed, and he finds he has nowhere to turn. It is…

Absolutely loathed this film for its over the top violence with zero redeeming values. The same actor who played Forest Gump & Mr. Rogers is a gangster? Seriously? I love Tom Hanks' movies (ever since Splash), but I am disappointed that…

Typically not a fan of mob movies, but I thought this was great.

First rate cast, Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Jude Law, Daniel Craig. The problem they are miscast as gangsters. Paul Newman looks like a retired doctor. Tom 'Forest Gump' Hanks does not make a credible mob enforcer. Jude Law is supposed to be…

A star studded cast. Had no idea that Hanks had made this movie till I seen it on dashboard. Lots of bloody killings too much to expose a young boy to. Enjoyed the vintage cars and clothing. A long movie.

Tom Hanks tackles a role that is really unusual for him - not the “hero” of his usual recent movies. But he does it flawlessly, of course, and the story is engaging.

A visually beautiful movie about fathers coming to terms with loss and their sons.

We will never see the gates of heaven. Or, I'm honored it had to be you, (Tom). Ebert gave it three stars. Too tragically Greek, too fated. I protest. Best father-son film ever. The entire cast, including Jude Law and Daniel Craig are…

Hands up, who buys all-around nice guy Tom Hanks as a mob hitman? It's some pretty serious miscasting, as is Jude Law as a weasely killer who takes pictures of his victims. It's a nice period piece that feels airless. Paul Newman is great…

Great thriller... Tom Hanks is superb as always!

This movie is incredible. Tom Hanks is outstanding, and I think this film is totally underrated, especially because you don't often get to see a film about father-son loyalty. Easily in my top 10 favorite films of all time, especially with…

Thank you! - Tom - for playing a role like this, even if you never do again.

I guess this is a movie Tom Hanks and Paul Newman made to show they are "AcTors " not just big Hollywood stars.

Great cast (Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Jude Law, Stan Tucci and Daniel Craig). Very good storyline of a father, mob enforcer, set out to avenge the death of his wife and youngest child... all while trying to protect his only living son. …

The beginning had the potential for this to be a really good movie. Boy witnesses Connor kill a man, in the presence of his father. Mr. Rooney favors Michael Sullivan over his own son, which undoubtedly incites jealousy in Connor. …
