Road to Perdition

[Tweak72]

i haven read this comic yet but bought the DVD recently on a "oh its cheap in sansburys" (and bloody brilliant i thought it was too)
so who rates the comic as im looking to buy it but wanted to see what the Hive Mind thought

[Dudley]

Great comic, really enjoyable read.

[Tweak72]

how close was the film? do you think?
 

[Dudley]

Haven't seen it, sorry.  Can't imagine Tom... no, I'm not going down that line.  The book was great, I'll leave it at that.

[Max Kon]

I loved the film myself.

[Oddboy]

I've not read the book, but I thought the film was kinda dull.  The movie starts well, good premise, but then about half way through it's just dull.

[skurvy]

It's pretty good, the wierd thing though is that the artist (richard peirs-rainer??) obviously used photo references as one of the main characters is (and I mean is identical to) the actor Ben Chaplin, he used to be in Game On (top notch programme that was) and was in The Thin Red Line. It's a bit distracting actually...

[paulvonscott]

Book was enjoyable enough, not that keen on reading one of the many add on books, as they would seem something of a tack-on really I should imagine.

I'm still rooting for History of Violence at Canne.  Not read that much mention of the source material in web-things, which is probably to be expected, but the europoeans are much more understanding of this stuff I hope.

I found the film pretentious (ooh! look! slow mo gunfire in the rain!) and hugely over-rated. That's kind of kept me from checking out the comic.

[Byron Virgo]

I wouldn't bother if I was you - the book's as cack as the film (sorry Dudley!)

[Queen Firey-Bou]

well  loved the film, it was edge of seat emotive stuff, and jude law was a very disturbing mix of gorgeous & repulsive...marvellous film.

but then you know me, i tend to enjoy anything that isnt work, trauma, or unremitting grind.

entertainment appriciating Bou.

[Trout]

I really enjoyed the film, but haven't read the comic yet.
