Reviews


100
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Has the juice to get its hooks into you, knock you off balance and keep you that way for two hours. It's a triumph for director Sam Mendes. The passion and precision of his Road work is staggering.

The New York Times - Stephen Holden
A truly majestic visual tone poem.
83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
The movie misfires: It's numbingly cold and soulless, and the zeitgeist stays far beyond its reach. But it's so visually striking you almost don't notice, its relentlessly somber mood has a certain masochistic appeal and, while hardly a career-redefining performance, Hanks is as winning as ever.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
Subdued yet percolating with suppressed emotion.
75
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Paved with such good intentions and talent that it's sad to report this lavishly mounted gangster epic - the most serious-minded Hollywood film of the season - doesn't come close to living up to expectations.
