Negative Positive
Title: Not simple entertainment!
Review: Although the movie has all attributes of typical 'gangster' movies it seems like it has much more than this. It is quite dark with slowly developing plot but that doesn't seem somehow annoying. Tom Hanks brilliantly (as usual) portrays a killer that is forced to fight against people, to whom he was dedicated for many years, to defend his family. I don't normally like Paul Newman as an actor but in this movie he is totaly natural playing a kind of godfather, whose love for his son is stronger than any other considerations and who is torn because of this. The movie is directed by Sam Mendes, who directed "American Beauty', his first feature film. His second film is totally different but is in the same league (which is to say that it is as good as the first one).
Is the review positive or negative?
