Many of its audiences will only know what 1/3 of the words in the title mean. Perhaps EON is trying to make up for retitling "Licence Revoked" to "Licence To Kill," after executives wondered if anybody knew what the word "revoked" meant. (Answer: more than know what "quantum" or "solace" means, thanks to the DMV.) But I applaud any effort to talk up to audiences instead of down to them. "Road To Perdition" is not just a great movie -- it's a great title.

I know what all the words mean, but I still have trouble parsing them into a sentence...
