Road to Perdition (2002) Divx

Plot

Michael Sullivan, Sr. is an enforcer to John Rooney, an Irish Mafia chieftain in Illinois during the Great Depression. Sullivan, who was orphaned as a child and subsequently raised by Rooney, has worked for the crime boss most of his life. Sullivan and Rooney's son, Connor, are sent by Rooney to talk to Finn McGovern, an employee, shortly after the death of Finn's brother. Sullivan's older son, twelve-year-old Michael Jr., follows the enforcers and watches them kill McGovern after a heated exchange of words. The boy is caught by the enforcers, and the father swears his son to secrecy. In an attempt to ensure Michael's silence, Connor tries to have Sullivan assassinated and personally murders Sullivan's wife Annie and younger son Peter. Sullivan and Michael escape the attempt on their lives and flee to Chicago.

Sullivan requests assistance from Al Capone's crime syndicate to seek revenge, but when he is rejected, Sullivan and his son plan a string of robberies to steal the syndicate's laundered money. Sullivan hopes to coerce Capone into giving up Connor for the money, but Capone instead dispatches assassin Harlen Maguire to kill Sullivan and his son. Maguire finds Sullivan seeking assistance from Rooney's accountant, Alexander Rance, at a hotel, and inadvertently kills the accountant. Maguire is injured in the confrontation, but he manages to wound Sullivan with a gunshot. Sullivan's son takes his father to a farm where a childless and elderly couple helps the former enforcer recover. During his recuperation, Sullivan finds in ledgers taken from Rance that Connor had embezzled money from his father under the names of gang members that he had murdered.

When Sullivan recovers, he secretly meets with John Rooney during Mass and shares his discovery about Connor. Rooney refuses to let his son be harmed. Sullivan is forced to hunt down and kill members of Rooney's gang, including John Rooney himself. With the crime boss dead, Capone finds no reason to protect Connor anymore, and Capone's lieutenant Frank Nitti gives Sullivan a tip to track Connor down and kill him. Apparently free from pursuit, Sullivan and his son make their way to the town of Perdition, Michigan. A disfigured Maguire tracks the Sullivans down to the summer house of Annie Sullivan's sister. Maguire shoots Sullivan from behind, and the assassin finds himself held at gunpoint by Sullivan's son. Maguire approaches the son as Sullivan discourages his son from firing to have blood on his hands. Sullivan is able to shoot Maguire from behind instead, and Sullivan dies in his son's arms. The son mourns his father's death and finds his way to the elderly couple that had helped him and his father, growing up with them.
