 “There are only murderers in this room! Michael! Open your eyes! This is the life we chose, the life we lead. And there is only one guarantee: none of us will see heaven.”

April Showers roll on, and this week Henrique and David are heading to Rock Island, Illinois for a rainy, emotionally charged journey into organized crime and father-son bonds. We’re diving deep into Sam Mendes’ 2002 neo-noir masterpiece Road to Perdition—a film soaked in atmosphere, grief, and some of the most stunning cinematography in modern cinema.

Set in 1930s Illinois, Road to Perdition tells the story of a mob enforcer whose son witnesses a murder, launching them on a road trip fueled by vengeance, protection, and ultimately, redemption.
