Thread: road to perdition help?

SPOILERS!!!!!!

ok im about 40mins in and so far great movie. i was about 13 when this came out so wasnt my type of movie at that age but now it is lol. anyways ok when mike sulliva aka tom hanks goes to the club to give a letter to the calvechio guy or i guess hes the manager of the place and gives him a letter, on the letter it says kill mike sullivan and all debts are paid. being that sullivan is always aware of his surroundings he gets the gun first and kills him and his body guard guy. next scene shows daniel craigs character shooting sullivans wife and youngest son. why did rooney do this? i probably answers my qeustion right here but is it because young mike jr found out about his dads job and rooney was afraid that word might get out and all of them would be in prison? lol thx also what did you think of the movie

That's the same reason I came up with. I liked the movie.

yes. he was afraid word would get out. he also obviously killed the wrong son too.
