Top Critics Reviews

So is Perdition still a must-see? No question. But it's tough to fuss about it much when a picture is this fussy.

rotten:
Visually, the picture is all of a piece, but it's a self-conscious piece of work -- all dark-toned academic classicism.
– David Denby,

fresh:
What makes the movie pay off is moving pictures of real action and of intimate scenes between man and boy that are all the more moving for being understated.

fresh:
While crisply edited and unindulgent, Mendes' work is gratifyingly old-school in its rejection of modern-day stylistic agitation, the better to achieve a slow but inexorable build to its climax.

rotten:
Sam Mendes's 2002 follow-up to American Beauty finds him every bit as adept, arty, and Oscar hungry.
