Third time I watched it. Jeebus!! Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor. There are so many scenerios I didn't remember. Won't mind watching it again.

The author of Road to Perdition, Max Collins, is an understated writer with a deapan way that works well for hard-boiled stories. Lately he's been doing a lot of TV show books (like CSI, etc.) that I have no interest in, but his work with his own characters has some classic stuff. I particularly like his Nathan Heller books with their Chicago based mise-en-scene stories. He takes a historical event/crime, and usually inserts his detective in place of where somebody really did hire a detective and then riffs on his private version of history. Most are set in the teens through fifties. He does massive amounts of research into the crimes he writes about.

Any remake of Lone Wolf and Cub is OK by me.

It was the one and only graphic novel I've read and I couldn't put it down.
