Road to Perdition is one of Sam Mendes best works. This scene in particular. The cinematography, set design and specially, Thomas Newman's powerfull score, are excellent. Notice that we don't see Connor die, we only see Sullivan's cold expression and body language telling us how he feels. Finally, the door slowly closes and we see Connor's dead body in the tub. A masterstroke. The scene is in my playlist. Thanks for uploading.
This whole scene is a work of art.. I love the take when he's walking down the hall, the way he just casually racks the slide while he's strolling, the way Connor's bodyguard just steps aside like nothing's happening.. awesome.
@@user-dv4dh8mf9tI think there’s some misinterpretation there. The guy was a doorman/bodyguard and was to escort Sullivan the way he came since John and Conor Rooney were in the same building as Nitti. But there is the factor of Conor wanting to take out Sullivan when he escaped elevator so Sullivan could have gotten intercepted by Connor and captured or killed if he stayed in the elevator.
I've had this movie for years but for some odd reason kept procrastinating on watching it. I broke that spell and man I recommend this movie to any person that wants a great film that doesn't disappoint. Period.
Mike Sullivan was a badass man. Relentless. You kill a man's innocent wife and youngest son...you create an even bigger badass. When Al Capone caves and green lights Connor's execution that was a huge sign of fear and respect. Granted, Connor was on borrowed time anyway with Big Rooney being eliminated. Damn that Maguire.
One of the best gangster-movies. Great settings, shots, music and actors. My favorite scenes are the arrival in Chicago, the shoot-out in the rain en Hanks revenge in Lexington.
I love the continuous rhythm of this scene..his calm yet juggernaut-like determination, from start to finish. And the music is a perfect representation of the emotion and the scene as a whole: a subtle yet unstoppable force..awesome.
This scene just blew my fucking mind. When I saw this back in theaters, I though Frank Nitti said, "But then I want your assurance, that after that, blahblahblah..." and I just realized he said "But then Al wants your assurance, etc." And there's only one deleted scene with Al Capone.
This whole scene is so good. The thumping music with Tom Hanks' character just bolding walking to finally finish the job and kill that son of a bitch who killed his wife and son. I especially love the shot where the camera is looking down on Hanks as he's walking down the corridor, it gives his character such a powerful and serious look. Sam Mendes is a great director.
This is my favorite scene in the Movie, although the killing of old man Rooney is the best scene. I'm sure besides myself, most of the viewers were cheering Sullivan on to get revenge and justice. The short, disgusted look Sullivan gives Conor before he dispatches him is just classic.
@jiltedkiller It was short and to the point, Sullivan took him down showing NO MERCY. Just like Conner callously slaughtered his wife and youngest child. Isn't it ironic how dude met his maker in a bathroom, just like Sullivan's family did? Eye for an EYE Indeed! Road of Perdition is one of the BEST films of this decade, criminally underrated. How it failed to get a Best Picture nomination still baffles.
If I remember correctly they actually shot the scene of him walking down the hallway before the hotel room with the entire roof lifted off of the set and a trailing camera from above. As he gets further down they pan the camera low enough where they can lower the roof on top of it so the shot is completely seamless. Very artistic. (And if I recall expensive). It shows the final conclusion to this man's peril and the impending doom for his enemy. After all the drama of the story you know that soon it's about to all be over. Even the smallest details of how the guards outside of the elevator and hotel room make a very small step to the side in order to show him that they will show no resistance and that they have their new orders. The amount of detail in this minute long scene is bone chilling. I don't think they will ever make movies as good again. I remember after 9/11 I was a teenager and saw in the theaters and it was the first movie I had seen since the attacks and it was a nice break from reality. Everybody was so scared and the war was just ramping up. This movie was the break I think that America needed at the time. The entire musical score was a masterpiece on its own. Especially the Rock Island 1931 score.
If Anyone Earned The Right To Kill A Piece Of Garbage Like Daniel Craig's Character....It Was Tom Hank's Character In This Scene.....And That's All There Is Too It.....
The irony of this scene is Sullivan killing Connor in the bathroom just as Conner killed his wife n 2nd born son. The look on his face, and his lean is saying How Ironic before he shoots him 3 times. One for your father, 2 for my wife n my kid
You're right, ganimed1976. Plus the racking sound at 1:07 isn't possible, as he isn't releasing pulling back and/or releasing the slide at that point. At most, he's releasing the safety, which is just a click. Not only is the pistol's hammer not back, needed for it to fire, but on none of the three shots does the slide move back to eject the empty casing and re-cock the hammer. Plus, on the first shot, the flash is from a light to the right of the scene, behind the door. The muzzle of the gun has no flash. Then, on the next two shots, the muzzle flashes but--again--the slide and hammer are not operated, and no spent casing is ejected. And he mimes the .45's recoil three obviously different ways. Great movie, but if Forrest Gump is gonna shoot a bad guy as evil as Connor, do it right! What would his Drill Instructor say? "Gump, how could you shoot a man three times without ever really firing your goddamn gun!? You're a goddamn genius, Gump! I'd recommend you for a Peckinpah movie if he's wasn't long dead!"
I absolutely LOVE this movie. I've seen it probably over 30 times, and will watch it again lol. That said, there are two things that could've been better about it (but they don't bother me enough to stop watching it): Number one is the casting of Tom Hanks as Mike Sullivan. Don't get me wrong, he did a great job in the role, but I don't think the role was suitable for him. I personally think the best choice for the role would've been Gabriel Byrne - aside from being a great actor, he's actually from Ireland, and I just see him as more fit for it. Number two is the scene where John Rooney and his men were taken out. I mean, come on! Yeah the cinematography and music was great, but it was incredibly unrealistic. All his men just standing there, shooting back, not grabbing John and running for cover? Not one bullet goes astray and hits John anyway? The scene was just too Hollywood. Just my opinion, feel free to disagree. But again...neither of those things are enough to make me love the movie any less. 😊
1) Gabriel Byrne, with the imprint of Usual Suspects, would have been consistent with the role, but that would have been the problem. The role needed the inconsistency of Tom Hanks persona. 2) The final shootout was surreal, like Hanks summoned some avenging angel powers for his last great action.
Hollywood isn't particularly good at keeping things realistic though, let's be fair. I agree with you, by the way, especially regarding the shooting scene where our protagonist takes out John's henchmen. A bit of surrealism or fantastical action? Sure. But let's not take the piss. But, again, Hollywood just isn't any good at keeping things planted, grounded with some sort of realism. You have to look to the British and how they make films for that.
the thompson machine gun if i remember rightly , if in the right hands could pick off a single person 3 quarters of a mile away, without being too far fetched i think sullivan could have taken down rooneys men without hitting rooney, one sweep of that gun could have took them all down in a second or two , the most unrealistic thing in my opinion is not one of them did look for cover , if any happened to be great war veterans, they would have moved like lightning
whoa badass scene. i need to see this movie. can someone tell me why his room door was open? i understand there was wise-guys standing around the hotel, but did they quietly open the bad guy's door while he bathed? cause it looks like danial craig was letting him take the hit.
Man… he didn’t even stop to let him explain or anything.. no words exchanges.. just walks in, sees the trash that ruined his family,💥🔫 💀 😵 and that’s all that Conor wrote! Epic scene! The look on Hanks 😂 he’s looking as if to say “I don’t really wanna be around you but here we are BANG! dead!
When Hanks walks out of the elevator the camera is above the ceiling level then moves down in front of him. When it does so the ceiling is then visible. Have they added the ceiling digitally afterwards?
Great scene. Only the sound of the slide chambering a round is not realistic. I do not know if anyone who can chamber a round in a .45 caliber 1911 with the use of one hand and nothing else. Granted he had to switch the safety off but it doesn’t sound like that. I the sound effect added in was reminiscent of the slide moving forward chambering a round after say, he released the slide catch. But we would see the weapon with the slide retraced once he removed it from his jacket. Plus he shot three rounds into his target and the hammer is upright and the slide is forward. It in fact was after every shot. That is not correct as the hammer always cocks back in order to fire the next round. I am not aware of any double action 1911s being used back then. A single action 1911 would never default to that position; either the hammer stays cocked back to fire the next round or the slide is locked back signaling that the chamber is empty. Love the movie but it would be even better if these details were given proper attention. It would not take much either. Just hire a FFL Licensed professional as a consultant and you are golden.
MrWellred81, the name of the composer is Thomas Newman. He is known for his works in "The Shawshank Redemption", " American Beauty", "Lemony Snicket", " Finding Nemo", "The good German", "Wall-e", " Skyfall", "Saving Mr Banks", "Bridge of spies" and "Passengers".
Michael Sullivan justified the slaughter of Rooney & his henchmen primarily not out of this thirst for rightful vengeance (granted that was a powerfully motivating factor) yet for reasons that had far more to do with keeping his surviving son safe & protected, for as long as Rooney the crime boss lived both Michael & his son would be hunted, targeted by those who were "protecting" their "interests," out of no love for Connor the cowardly culprit. Out of loyalty & fealty to old man Rooney, to be more precise. And as long as his heart beat & his mind remained undamaged from any form of creeping dementia Rooney was dangerous to Michael & son principally because he considered the very survival of his only son Conner to be a top, unquestioned priority, as killing Connor in the act of retribution & so as to mollify Sullivan's justified rage was basically out of the question (even though he loved Michael more than his own biological son, thus double the irony, that of protecting his actual son who he loved less than the man out to kill him). Therefore Sullivan had to take matters into his own hands & gun down the remaining, most formidable remnants of Rooney's crew, including Rooney himself, as painful & devastating as that was. For Michael Sullivan's guilt & reluctant resignation was clearly evident upon his features, as Rooney was essentially a beloved father figure, trusted confidant & wise mentor for much of his life, & Sullivan would have patiently awaited his death before moving in to take out Connor or before giving his hearty endorsement to Capone's gang to do just that (following Rooney senior's death). Yet Michael had to keep his son safe, as Connor wanted the boy eliminated as a potential witness & future executioner, the sooner the better. And Michael & his son couldn't remain in hiding forever, as Rooney senior might have lived another 10-15 years, & his allies in the Capone gang had eyes & ears in most major cities in the country where Mob activity teemed & thrived. Thus the urgent need for Sullivan to take action quickly & efficiently, to put an end to all that madness, to wreak righteous vengeance upon Connor & to protect & save his young son, whose life was in grave danger. That was his overriding purpose in taking such swift, violent & complete action in wiping out Rooney & his hired underlings so as to get to Connor (granted this primal thirst for revenge & divine justice was also driving Sullivan forth, totally understandable as that motivating factor was!). Sullivan had to save his son & thus escape the clutches of those who were serving Rooney in Rooney protecting his son, the one whom he loved less than the man seeking to kill him for killing his wife & youngest son (the irony cannot be ignored). So there it is, that's undoubtedly the very purpose behind Sullivan explaining himself & justifying his actions to Frank Nitti, capped off by Nitti's terse "I understand." Safety for his only remaining son first, those powerful undercurrents of holy vengeance notwithstanding.
Am I missing something? When Sullivan first arrives in Chicago to meet with Nitti, he arrives at the Wrigley Building and then takes the elevator up that has the two body guards in front of it and speaks with Nitti. In this scene, Nitti tells him he can find Connor Rooney at the Lexington Hotel, which was Capon'es headquarters and nowhere near the Wrigley Building. He is shown here taking the same elevator with the same bodyguards however, leading one to believe he is back at the Wrigley Building and not the Lexington Hotel.
What we couldn’t see… Connor, right to the point he is killed. I’m guessing he just looked at Michael in a casual way, as if he knew what was happening next. And Michael shoots him 3 times; probably 2 bullets for the wife and son Connor murdered, and the 3rd one representing Michael’s own soul having died with them…
People keep saying Al Capone caved to Mike. Not necessarily. When Mike killed the dad and crew Capone didn't need Connor anymore. Also Capone never called off the hit on Mike. He knew Maguire was still on him. Michael takes out the Rooney Mob, and in turn Capone has Mike killed. Win win
Awesome scene. I like how different it is from the earlier scene when Sullivan visits and jumps out of the elevator at the last second b/c he was probably going to get whacked, yet this time everybody stays out of his way.. pretty awesome. :)
Capone is playing the long game: with Jr. dead and Mike being on borrowed time...the Rooney Family is effectively rolled up in a fit of self immolation. None of the remaining Irish gangsters can Squawk because they know the son started the ball rolling. Al can move in or put his guy in....Al Capone was NOT afraid of Michael Sullivan.
I've been thinking about that too. I may have figured it out. Guy in tub perks/sits up a little as soon as Sullivan enters the room (notice how high Sullivan's gun is when he fires the first shot). The following shots Sullivan makes are lower (body/chest shots). One shot to the head and two to the chest.
Why isn't the hammer back on the 1911 when he's done shooting? Can't be last shot as it's not locked back. No slide movement. Wish I spotted it first, but another commenter did. He was very observant. Yes, a movie, but still a "goof"
This whole film is a cinematic work of art!!
Sam Mendes, Thomas Newman and all involved, how this didn't win multiple Oscars is criminal.
I think the cinematographer was Conrad Hall. That's why this movie is so beautiful.
All based on a comic

I love how the string and brass for this is very simple yet haunting.
Yeah me too...
Yeah. It so different from the scene were he kills the old man.
When Al Capone gets out the way and his muscle presses the elevator button for the guy coming for you, you know you've messed up big time.
This whole scene is a work of art.. I love the take when he's walking down the hall, the way he just casually racks the slide while he's strolling, the way Connor's bodyguard just steps aside like nothing's happening.. awesome.
Also, he was the one that stepped into the same elevator to kill sullivan earlier in the film under Romney’s orders

If your version has the wake scene at the beginning, note the free version on youtube has that cut out (for whatever reason).

Lord Vader didn't know you were a fan of Road to Perdition.
@@RenaldyCalixte Absolutely. The Force is strong with Tom Hanks...on the big screen.
@@DarthVader19-77 Tom Hanks character Mike Sullivan and his son Junior is making you think about your relationship with your son Luke. I can tell. 😏
They obviously hated Connor too. They were only protecting him because of his father.
@DarthVader19-77
Fear? Maybe... Respect? No... They never called off the hit on Sullivan.
One of the best gangster-movies.
Great settings, shots, music and actors.
My favorite scenes are the arrival in Chicago, the shoot-out in the rain en Hanks revenge in Lexington.

0:21 Still remember one evening, 20 years ago, watching them film Hanks walking up to the Wrigley Building, a huge fan blowing debris around.
Chills when he racks that Colt. Such a powerful scene. Brilliant directing.
This scene just blew my fucking mind. When I saw this back in theaters, I though Frank Nitti said, "But then I want your assurance, that after that, blahblahblah..." and I just realized he said "But then Al wants your assurance, etc." And there's only one deleted scene with Al Capone.
Well I always thought he said I want. So that's news to me.
I love this scene. It's so perfect, the music says everything. Seriously exceptional filmmaking right here.
Tom Hanks acting is so good and so natural he makes it look like anyone can do it..
This whole scene is so good. The thumping music with Tom Hanks' character just bolding walking to finally finish the job and kill that son of a bitch who killed his wife and son.

"You've been hit by, you've been struck by, A SMOOTH CRIMINAL!"
@Andrewz05 The Music gives off a man on a misson type of a approach, Hanks walk is awesome too how he walks to the room
a brutal sort of justice. the Capo has spoken. They all understand what that means. They stand aside and let Michael Sullivan do what he has to do.
This sequence here is pure cinema. RIP Conrad hall

Eye for an EYE Indeed!
Road of Perdition is one of the BEST films of this decade, criminally underrated.
How it failed to get a Best Picture nomination still baffles.
Fabulous scene....with Stanley Tucci in another great performance.
After Connor got killed, he quit his crime job and became an agent and he changed his name to...
James Bond
20 years ago, time sure does fly
Woody dont take no shit when you try to take his toys.
This film is a piece of art.
They tore the original Lexington Hotel down in 1995. It was a huge loss.
So nuts, I'm scarred to take a bath now, ill just be chillin then, 'who the fuc- Oh shit Tom Hanks, I love your movi- POW POW POW'
MrParkinthedark this made me cackle
@@izraiEL235 same hahaha
Just don't kill anyone's family and you'll be fine
0:52 to 1:44 is one continuous take. Great scene.
If I remember correctly they actually shot the scene of him walking down the hallway before the hotel room with the entire roof lifted off of the set and a trailing camera from above. As he gets further down they pan the camera low enough where they can lower the roof on top of it so the shot is completely seamless. Very artistic. (And if I recall expensive).

awesome movie btw ^^

This is such a well done film. Can’t wait to watch it again.

Kyle Christiansen the one and only
Nice SHOOOTT !!

Great fact
One of the greatest movies of all time and greatest scores as well
When he comes out lift camera is overhead and pans down and follows tom hanks as he cocks his gun. Gives me goosebumps. Beautiful shot scene.
It's so f**king cool. All in one take.
this is what a film should be .....the script is so subtle....
How many takes on this scene with steadycam? Anyone? Great sequence.
A calm and cool execution!!
The hammer of his 1911 Colt isn't cocked while shooting.

The scene where cpt miller kills james bond
Robert Langdon losses his cool, and kills James Bond!
Paul Edgecomb kills Tuvia Bielski. Wanted to acknowledge Daniel Craig’s other roles besides James Bond
...and those two mugs - one at the elevator and the other at the door - Erin Go Bragh...
Sam Mendes is a great director and music and no excessive cursing made a great film.
DAMN!!! I love this scene.....it made Mike Sullivan (Tom Hanks) look like a menacing demon coming to snatch the soul of Connor Rooney (Daniel Graig).
I absolutely LOVE this movie. I've seen it probably over 30 times, and will watch it again lol.
That said, there are two things that could've been better about it (but they don't bother me enough to stop watching it):

Yes.
After Bond got shot, there needed to be blood running down from the top of the screen.
Incredible scene..music score
話は通ってるわけだから廊下でもうピストル抜いてまうの好き
“Hello, Connor.”
What's the song called?
Lexington Hotel Room 1432 - its on the soundtrack
Mr Roger's evil twin.
Best part in the film.
Hard to say what part is the best when the entire film is a masterpiece!
Few movie characters deserved their fate more than Connor.
He killed Bond !
The music reminds me of the Shawshank Redemption, i'm guessing its the same composer?
MrWellred81, the name of the composer is Thomas Newman. He is known for his works in "The Shawshank Redemption", " American Beauty", "Lemony Snicket", " Finding Nemo", "The good German", "Wall-e", " Skyfall", "Saving Mr Banks", "Bridge of spies" and "Passengers".
Frank Lesher Green Mile, Meet Joe Black, Little Women, Spectre, and most recently 1917
Great movie, Shawschank Redemption.
Sam Mendes nailed it
Woody took out James Bond
Michael Sullivan justified the slaughter of Rooney & his henchmen primarily not out of this thirst for rightful vengeance (granted that was a powerfully motivating factor) yet for reasons that had far more to do with keeping his surviving son safe & protected, for as long as Rooney the crime boss lived both Michael & his son would be hunted, targeted by those who were "protecting" their "interests," out of no love for Connor the cowardly culprit.
Out of loyalty & fealty to old man Rooney, to be more precise.
And as long as his heart beat & his mind remained undamaged from any form of creeping dementia Rooney was dangerous to Michael & son principally because he considered the very survival of his only son Conner to be a top, unquestioned priority, as killing Connor in the act of retribution & so as to mollify Sullivan's justified rage was basically out of the question (even though he loved Michael more than his own biological son, thus double the irony, that of protecting his actual son who he loved less than the man out to kill him).
Therefore Sullivan had to take matters into his own hands & gun down the remaining, most formidable remnants of Rooney's crew, including Rooney himself, as painful & devastating as that was.
For Michael Sullivan's guilt & reluctant resignation was clearly evident upon his features, as Rooney was essentially a beloved father figure, trusted confidant & wise mentor for much of his life, & Sullivan would have patiently awaited his death before moving in to take out Connor or before giving his hearty endorsement to Capone's gang to do just that (following Rooney senior's death).
Yet Michael had to keep his son safe, as Connor wanted the boy eliminated as a potential witness & future executioner, the sooner the better.
And Michael & his son couldn't remain in hiding forever, as Rooney senior might have lived another 10-15 years, & his allies in the Capone gang had eyes & ears in most major cities in the country where Mob activity teemed & thrived.
Thus the urgent need for Sullivan to take action quickly & efficiently, to put an end to all that madness, to wreak righteous vengeance upon Connor & to protect & save his young son, whose life was in grave danger.
That was his overriding purpose in taking such swift, violent & complete action in wiping out Rooney & his hired underlings so as to get to Connor (granted this primal thirst for revenge & divine justice was also driving Sullivan forth, totally understandable as that motivating factor was!).
Sullivan had to save his son & thus escape the clutches of those who were serving Rooney in Rooney protecting his son, the one whom he loved less than the man seeking to kill him for killing his wife & youngest son (the irony cannot be ignored).
So there it is, that's undoubtedly the very purpose behind Sullivan explaining himself & justifying his actions to Frank Nitti, capped off by Nitti's terse "I understand." Safety for his only remaining son first, those powerful undercurrents of holy vengeance notwithstanding.
How does he work the slide like that at 1:06? Is that possible?
Jesus that music...
Am I missing something? When Sullivan first arrives in Chicago to meet with Nitti, he arrives at the Wrigley Building and then takes the elevator up that has the two body guards in front of it and speaks with Nitti. In this scene, Nitti tells him he can find Connor Rooney at the Lexington Hotel, which was Capon'es headquarters and nowhere near the Wrigley Building. He is shown here taking the same elevator with the same bodyguards however, leading one to believe he is back at the Wrigley Building and not the Lexington Hotel.
That scene was like a good shit 🤔 there was the building up of tension and then awww! Relief! 😌 satisfying!
They never called off the hit on Sullivan... He was still doing the mob's dirty work by taking out Connor.
When forrest gump has to kill James Bond and Butch Cassidy to protect his son Superman Superman lol
@ProfessorKerfuffle hehe awesome top gear sound editor is awesome
If I am loyal and feared hitman for the mob. Then, the mob spoiled prince takes my wife and son from me.
At least five clips.
JUSTICE!
Wasn't even time for buddy to scream
Old man I love ya
@InfiniteMisery003
he was setup, thats what the phone call in the beginning is about.
What we couldn’t see… Connor, right to the point he is killed. I’m guessing he just looked at Michael in a casual way, as if he knew what was happening next. And Michael shoots him 3 times; probably 2 bullets for the wife and son Connor murdered, and the 3rd one representing Michael’s own soul having died with them…
Hi Connor. Bye Connor.
People keep saying Al Capone caved to Mike. Not necessarily. When Mike killed the dad and crew Capone didn't need Connor anymore. Also Capone never called off the hit on Mike. He knew Maguire was still on him.
Michael takes out the Rooney Mob, and in turn Capone has Mike killed. Win win
Awesome scene. I like how different it is from the earlier scene when Sullivan visits and jumps out of the elevator at the last second b/c he was probably going to get whacked, yet this time everybody stays out of his way.. pretty awesome. :)
Tom hanks he is the best of the movies
Well....I think you got em
Sam Mendes
Tom Hanks
Thomas Newman
Moviemaking perfection
the pistol slide is not moving
The music sounds so similar to Shawshank Redemption
Same music composer for both movies if I'm not mistaken.....Paul Newman.
@@Kimmy_95 Thomas Newman you mean?
Capone is playing the long game: with Jr. dead and Mike being on borrowed time...the Rooney Family is effectively rolled up in a fit of self immolation. None of the remaining Irish gangsters can Squawk because they know the son started the ball rolling. Al can move in or put his guy in....Al Capone was NOT afraid of Michael Sullivan.
ten walls - walking with elephants
Why would the blood have splattered against the wall above the head if Sullivan was shooting downwards?
The Slice Factor I just noticed that too 😂
I've been thinking about that too. I may have figured it out. Guy in tub perks/sits up a little as soon as Sullivan enters the room (notice how high Sullivan's gun is when he fires the first shot). The following shots Sullivan makes are lower (body/chest shots). One shot to the head and two to the chest.
But why didn't he call off the hit from McGuire?
last of great hollwood mastere peices
Why isn't the hammer back on the 1911 when he's done shooting? Can't be last shot as it's not locked back. No slide movement. Wish I spotted it first, but another commenter did. He was very observant. Yes, a movie, but still a "goof"
Daniel Craig looks so bored.
