Better late career performance after 60: Paul Newman

Good poll....... Road to Perdition blows to me .........an all-time overrated film imo.

I will take Color of Money here - because it's hard to do justice to a role you've already done and when that much time goes by too and convincingly pull it off. He's kind of "perfect" in Road To Perdition - the only thing I like in that movie at all actually .....but a lot of it is off his gravity and presence and as a performance I think it involves a lot less.

This. Newman was a great actor, but he had so many more performances more worthy of an Oscar than a so-so retread of his far better work in The Hustler. It's fine as a nostalgia trip, but nothing more.

He was superb in Road To Perdition. Gave the weightiest performance in a cast of much younger heavy hitters (Hanks, Law, Craig). It's not close between this and the other performance.

I think Road to Perdition is barely mentioned in the conversation, especially among the crime genre movies of the 21st Century.
I think it's an almost forgotten film.

Which is why I'm surprised at least for now is winning this poll.
The Color of Money is a more popular and better film, and it's Paul Newman's last great leading performance.

You make me regret making this poll.
It's clearly The Color of Money.
