| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Road To Perdition Movie Rating: 
PerfectIrish mobster Michael O'Sullivan (Tom Hanks) bumps off some shady bootleggers, and his son Mike (Tyler Hoechlin) witnesses the gangland murder. Although Michael guarantees his son's silence, his boss and adoptive father, John Rooney (Paul Newman), reluctantly orders them both to be killed. When the hit goes awry, O'Sullivan and son take to the road, vowing revenge on Rooney's gang. | |
| Based on a graphic novel (an elaborate comic book), this film works on many different levels - as a subtle character study, an exciting tale of vengeance, and an exquisitely rendered slice of 1930s Americana. Director Sam Mendes achieves perfection in every department, from the fine performances and sepia-toned cinematography to the sumptuous period sets and taut editing. This engrossing drama deserves to be on the road to Oscar glory. |
