What cinematic techniques are used to create sympathy for the death of Michael Sullivan? Director: Sam Mendes Genre: Drama | Detective | Mystery The movie Road to Perdition is an adaption from the graphic novel written by Max Allan Collins, Richard Piers Rayner.

Road to Perdition is quite dark throughout the film to give a certain sense or feeling that things aren’t what they are made out to be. There’s a particular mise on scene near the beginning of the film where the main characters family are at the table.
