I swear, every time I watch this movie I get a craving for honey dipped fried chicken and a black coffee. It fits the scene perfectly. **cozy, rainy, dark night in a small rural diner, the perfect time for some coffee and honey fried chicken**

I know, with that yellow-grinned smile. He is normally the sort of attractive type in movies, but he really casts against his own type by playing this weird creep so well. Seeing him grin and hunch over at the diner, the awkward way he talks to him, his job, and shares his hobby like some weird obsessive introvert, he looks like some creep you would avoid in the corner of the room.
Ths music in this movie is incredible, just like American Beauty. I love the style of both movies. Just the music in general really hits your core in my opinion.
I love how everyone is playing against type in this movie: Tom Hanks a lethal mob enforcer Jude Law is the psychopathic killer who has a fetish for dead bodies Daniel Craig is an alcoholic train wreck who is constantly feeling weak in the presence of his father Paul Newman is a ruthless crime boss who is split over his two "sons" (even though Tom Hanks is only an adoptive son, he loves him just as much as Daniel Craig's character) All against type, it's great. One of my favourite movies. Thanks
Jude Law's character is the furthest from psychopathic (which is defined as having a break from reality). What he is, is a sociopath firmly grounded in reality. A high-functioning vicious killer who knows precisely what he's doing and has no remorse at all but rather revels in the experience. SocIopaths walk amongst us, and all you have to do is to turn on the evening news to hear of their work. Mass shootings? Take away the guns and they'd just resort to another"weapon of choice", eg. knives, speeding cars, explosives, etc. No, make no mistake, Law's character is a sociopath.
@@Erosgatesshit, I've decided to do the same .....15 years, 1 year after you 😂 Was a really good observation.....thing is, we all knew it already.....but we didn't consciously think about it. It's like you always knew it, but it wasn't until someone actually acknowledged it, that we considered what we already knew 😂😂
Anyone else notice the fact that if Sullivan’s son had come in to eat with him, it would have sabotaged Sullivan’s ability to slip out so smoothly and elusively, his sons love of reading is what actually made it possible to escape quickly. Also the same dynamic happened when Connor killed the wife and child, when Mike jr saw Connor in the doorway he didn’t scream or anything, he remained calm and present and then realized he wasn’t spotted, Little Mikey was like his father but he never needed a gun. I love the contrast. He passed on his intelligence to his boy without passing on the bloodshed
So is Jude Law and Daniel Craig... Jude Law is playing a totally different person so that you are actually forget he is Jude Law.... that's real acting.... totally different mannerisms , bad posture... different facial expressions
Yep. Plus that is such a brilliant scene the way Jude Law just totally is able to transform himself into a totally different human being ... a brilliant actor
I feel something about this movie that hit the core of my soul as if l was there in the person of that boy who also have my name. Hank is my hero,what an actor two of his movie's roll playing as the captain in Saving Private Rian and the gangster onRoad to Perdition. Jude Law is also an excellent supporting actor and the boy couldn't play a better character.MACHINE PARTS?😆😊😅❤ THAT'S WONDERFUL. I DRINK TO THAT!!! What a dialogue.
i thought Hanks was miscast and Law ruined it by over hamming the part. strange opposite viewpoints. But a wonderful film made almost flawless by Newman and Craig, the cinematography, and the score.
I personally think that's what makes his character so compelling. He isn't fit for all of this lifestyle. He's a family man first, and mobster-killer, whatever you want to call it a distant second. But choosing to be one threatens the other, and that's one of the themes of this movie. A more rugged individual would have taken away from the innocence and softness of the character. Because he doesn't fit makes it work. That's just what i think
The look on Tom Hank's face from the 5:48 mark to the exchange between the two men through the 8:46 mark is the most dynamic part of this movie. Hanks realizes what (not who) Law's character is, just as Law is quite aware he's been "made". Two killers, who might have never met before, now do so...
... O.O WOW Law is fantastic in this! i never knew he had it in him!!! "i shoot the dead" = :D and he drops such a dead serious face when he says that too, it was almost comical ^^.
Jude Law was brilliant in this.... that's real true acting when he can make you believe he's actually somebody else.... everything changed.... bad posture , totally different voice , totally different facial expressions than we normally see.... he just really is a true actor... some actors are always just playing themselves and people think they're great just because they're able to emote or get angry or cry but they're not using everything they've got where they transform themselves into a totally different human being like a real true actor , like Jude Law .
@MrSoprano0125 : here is my guess about your observation.....that handgun ownership and use was so common at that time, especially in the rural areas that the cop may have concluded he was shooting at someone that may have stolen his car or commited some crime, theft etc against him.
wow this guy sulivan must be the worst fugitive ever... I mean he goes to his sisters house, and then to make it even easier for them to track him down he decides to call home first.
its beautiful, and as a brit who lived in US for a few years, it perfectly captures the size, the scale, the rawness of the country. Theres a cold Irish north wind clinging to every note.
@thelonepicklejar Initially he's just nervous. Then he gets that feeling that something isnt right, and as the guy talks about dead bodies, he recognises another killer. Then it all falls into place. He obviously also knew that there'd be someone coming for him. Wasn't a very good idea to call home though...
They could have made the story even a little bit more interesting by showing you what happens after he kills the cop... he's going to have to steal someone's car.... does he do it nicely or does he kill more people... if he kills more people you know he's going to be real tempted to photograph them and then he's going to be torn between catching up the Tom Hanks or doing what he loves most photographing dead people.... that would have made the movie a little longer but would have been a great scene... especially if one of them... like the waitress escapes .
Hes a paid professional, not a psychopath. He fks this job up, hes dead, and he films corpses to remind himself how lucky he is to be on the right side of the lens. Its no time for fetishes.
Why the hell would the cop say "what do you think you're doing?" after sseing the fact that there is a guy firing a gun at someone and getting himself shot?
now a crazy ass person like that would keep his professional work to hiself bcuz anything kinda of clue always throw a person off where they figure you out right away thats why i don't tell me business with lettin keep on guessing.
The cop is used to a small-town farming community most likely and like Barney Fief, he probably isn't used to a criminal element showing their faces around "town'. This ain't Al Capone's Chicago he's workin' in, and whether or not his gun is even loaded at the time he got capped can be debated... (might be the first time he's even seen a weapon discharged in the commision of a crime.)
I think back in the day when a long-distance call was disconnected they could reconnect it.... when someone answered he would have waited and then if he heard a lot in the background he would have asked them what the place was and found out it was a restaurant and he would have gotten all the information if they told him the name of it and what town .
I don't know anything about the area.... so several things.... this was before all the highways were built... it would have taken longer ... the outskirts of the Cities were usually smaller back then.... cities tend to keep getting bigger and gobbling up the surrounding areas ... I'm not sure it took him a whole 24 hours.... maybe it only took them a couple hours ?
As if any cop would just ask "what are you doing?" when he sees a guy shooting at someone. The dude would have his gun drawn before he said one word. The problem with this film is that it relies a lot of people doing really dumb things at convenient times for the plot, but in this case it wasn't even necessary. Why even bother to have the cop in this scene at all? He serves no purpose. So instead of him acting really stupid so McGuire can live, why not just take him out of the scene entirely?
Hmm. Some very valid points, except to reinforce just what low down dirty scum Jude Law's character is. He shoots to kill a duly sworn officer of the law. And a good shot at that. He got him with his first shot!
McGuire is a cunning, evil but intelligent assassin, intelligence that Sullivan equally possesses too. McGuire knew he had been made and was looking to end it when Sullivan came back to the table. Even if Sullivan tried to escape through the window, without the cop making McGuire think it was police car engine starting, McGuire would have caught on and likely killed Sullivan. Also it’s like a small-town cop, looks to be in the middle of nowhere. Small town cops aren’t necessarily portrayed as “shoot first, ask questions later” type of police in movie.
@DavidMann All calls go through an operator system in that time period, so yeah, pretty common. Did you think that comment out first or were just trolling for a fight?
How come an experienced hitman like Jude in this movie mentions "dead bodies" and how fascinated he is to look at them? His words and body language betrayed him, and I am sure many people (not only Hank's character) would suspect the guy is just trouble and one needs to get out of that situation quickly. I know this is a movie, but still, an experienced hitman hired by one of Capone's men should be more discreet and professional.
I think they were able to connect dropped calls that were long distance calls back then.... and then when someone picked up the phone all he had to do was just ask them the name of the place and where it was and somebody probably would have actually told him.... I felt it was actually a believable scene .

@tadpolesexxx haha, its hilarious and also: "I don't kill them myself". And when Michaels father answers: "I sure hope not" Love the intensity here.
lol worst cop ever...thanks for posting this up james, i lost my dvd a while ago and i have been wanting to watch this forever.
Jude knew it was him because he has seen picture of Michael at the funeral I believe.
... O.O WOW Law is fantastic in this! i never knew he had it in him!!!
"i shoot the dead" = :D and he drops such a dead serious face when he says that too, it was almost comical ^^.

my vcd's second cd did not work...and now i can watch it...thanks James:D
Sam Mendes (the director) has said that the bead of sweat that rolls down Tom Hanks' face was real and not makeup. Holy crap! Great acting.
No Problem....a couple of jalapenos just before the take will do the job very nicely. Just part of scene prep!
Here, here! He was the epitome of Bond. What he was always intended to be, Fleming's vision, not movie-makers. Good show, mate!
@MrSoprano0125 : here is my guess about your observation.....that handgun ownership and use was so common at that time, especially in the rural areas that the cop may have concluded he was shooting at someone that may have stolen his car or commited some crime, theft etc against him.
7:32 you meet such interesting people at these roadside attractions, don't ya.
Jude Law’s actuations probably blew his own cover right at the start. Tom Hanks played along.
Trying too hard to get Mike’s attention as some lovable wanderer who happened to drop into the diner
i love that piano work
6:22 he clicked the camera to see if he would react to the sound
never noticed that!
It shows when someone must rise to the occasion. To stand up to something greater than themselves.
i love the diner scene. the way the sweat starts dripping down sullivan's face when daniel craig starts talking about dead people is just awesome
That wasn't Daniel Craig , my friend , that was Jude Law... Daniel Craig is the guy that played Paul Newman's son
The yellow smile the being a rarity taking pics of the dead it was all a giveaway for Mike knowing he was a hitman
havent seen the movie yet. part of it was filmed where I live. Guess i should rent it.
how did he recognize him? just instincts?
wow this guy sulivan must be the worst fugitive ever... I mean he goes to his sisters house, and then to make it even easier for them to track him down he decides to call home first.
That's Jude Law in the diner scene, not Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig plays Connor Rooney.
The music when he's in from of the candles 🥲
its beautiful, and as a brit who lived in US for a few years, it perfectly captures the size, the scale, the rawness of the country. Theres a cold Irish north wind clinging to every note.
Does anybody know which part is the one where Jude Law rolls the coin across his fingers? Thanks.
You probably figured it out by now since you've had 10 years hahaha but it's another later saying when he's at the hotel
@thelonepicklejar
Initially he's just nervous. Then he gets that feeling that something isnt right, and as the guy talks about dead bodies, he recognises another killer. Then it all falls into place. He obviously also knew that there'd be someone coming for him. Wasn't a very good idea to call home though...
Jude laws acting is pretty good
McGuire told Nitti he knew Sullivan's work but he assumed Sullivan didn't know anything about him. Didn't even bother with a cover story.
Wow ! Magic coffee cup at 7:05 !!!!!
Klanto, thank you so much.
jude law is awesome! he is so scary
how can tom hanks SWEAT on purpose

i love the bowler hat
Jude Law looks so much like Brian Austin Green.
Judelaw rocks
dus anyone know what kinda gun mr. miguier shoots that cop with?
Why the hell would the cop say "what do you think you're doing?" after sseing the fact that there is a guy firing a gun at someone and getting himself shot?
Anyone see Hanks sweating? Nice touch.
Respond to this video...Jude Law: "You've got a special" Waitress: "Everything's special" "Is that so?" She: "Everything except the food" haha:-)
@narrator89 You see him at 1:00 looking at a photograph of Sullivan at his wife and son's wake, so he knows what he looks like.
3:13 Our only hope...
now a crazy ass person like that would keep his professional work to hiself bcuz anything kinda of clue always throw a person off where they figure you out right away thats why i don't tell me business with lettin keep on guessing.
"hay what do you think your" lol

they had Star 69 back then?

Here’s a question... why did it take Tom Hanks 24 hours to drive from downtown Chicago to englewood? It’s only a 15 minute drive. 🧐
He wanted to miss the traffic light on Elston.
I don't know anything about the area.... so several things.... this was before all the highways were built... it would have taken longer ... the outskirts of the Cities were usually smaller back then.... cities tend to keep getting bigger and gobbling up the surrounding areas ... I'm not sure it took him a whole 24 hours.... maybe it only took them a couple hours ?
Cops were incredibly curious back then , not drawing his weapon and only asking a silly question…
As if any cop would just ask "what are you doing?" when he sees a guy shooting at someone. The dude would have his gun drawn before he said one word.

Can you hang up and phone and connect with an operator like that back then?
Dok Hycodan yes. unlike today. operators were the computer's.
Yes I'm pretty sure if it was a long distance call they were able to reconnect you or put the call through
It's 1931. You would expect car license plates to have three digits. o_O

Back to times were Jude law was a good actor...
I's in Road to Perdition pt. 9., after Sullivan has taught Michael to drive and they're robbing banks.
Tom Hanks actually sweated while shooting the diner sequence with Jude Law. No fake sweat or makeup. Real blood.
This is why he's such a good actor.
Little mike is so hard headed and it's causing unnecessary problems.
9:09 so good
Scary how people can turn on each other for nothing after knowing each other for years, WTF I could never do that, not for a million dollars
Why does he say he wants coffee black and than puts sugar in it.
what cop worth his salf would ask what do you're think you're doing to a man with a loaded gun lol
@narrator89 He saw him in the picture during the funerals
dude, i have that camera at my house! i knew it was old, but not that old!
@Kitarl Yeah, because tracing phone calls was common practice in the 1930s...
I think they were able to connect dropped calls that were long distance calls back then.... and then when someone picked up the phone all he had to do was just ask them the name of the place and where it was and somebody probably would have actually told him....

Damn I was 27 years old when some of these comments were posted lol.
how good is this score though..
rubbin
the gun is a .32 ACP Savage 1907
Not necessary to make the cop into a fool.
How many people noticed that a cup of coffee magically appears in front of Jude Law?
@VirtuaFig
Ah, must have missed that!
@KazuoKiriyama666 LOL,i never payed attention to that.Your right.

narrator89 photograph.
shit at 4:25 jude law is creepy
funny when the cop gets shot and looks up then gets shot again.
Phone tracing isn’t known by a top hit man?
As if ANY police officer in any era would just see some dude shooting a gun AND NOT pull his own gun and shoot back. LoLz.

Should be no bother finding the shooter... they surely got him on cctv..
