Road to Perdition

“Pray for Michael Sullivan.”

Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) does the killing for crime boss John Rooney (Paul Newman) in 1931, and his twelve-year-old son has never been told what his father's work really is. Then the boy hides in the back of a car and sees it for himself, and Sullivan has to run with him while he hunts the men who wronged them. Sam Mendes keeps the two of them in the same cars and rooms for most of the road, a father and son learning each other for the first time.
