Road to Perdition is SO much better than Public Enemies for five reasons:
One. Paul Newman is not in Public Enemies and Johnny Depp is. Johnny Depp is WAY overrated. I enjoyed him in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Edward Scissorhands, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but after Willy Wonka and three films of Jack Sparrow, I think he's too mainstream.
Two. The musical score in Perdition is perfect. It flows through every scene like it's a character along for the ride.
Three. Tom Hanks is a bad ass.
Four. In Perdition, Daniel Craig is a wimp and Jude Law is a mouse; the only interesting character in Public Enemies was Baby Face Nelson, and he was stereotyped.
Five. The "love story" in Public Enemies was a terrible distraction from what could have been a movie about why Dillinger was the way he was.

Just saying.
