Tom Hanks rarely plays morally ambiguous characters; you can probably count on one hand the number of times he's played an outright antagonist. However, one of Hanks' most interesting performances came at a time when he was at the peak of his success. He could have chosen to make the kind of movies that audiences were accustomed to seeing him in, but he chose to star in the sophomore feature of a breakout director, where he played a Mafia fixer who goes on a revenge mission against his boss, with his son tagging along for the dangerous ride. The movie was released in 2002, the same year as the far more accessible crime caper Catch Me if You Can, directed by Steven Spielberg and headlined by Leonardo DiCaprio.
