I haven't seen either of these movies, so my tiebreaker is the more "comic-booky" movie - Kingsman, in this case - gets my vote.

Kingsman has one of the best scenes out of any comic book movie ever. The church scene:

Road to Perdition got a lot of buzz when it came out, but it wasn't great to me.  It was fine, but it had nothing that stuck.

Kingsman was pretty cool.  The church is one of the baddest-ass scenes in comic book movie history.

Even if you've never seen the movie and have no interest, watch Fau's clip, above.

I had no idea at all that Road to Perdition came from a comic book.  Love the movie, seen it at least a dozen times, and consider the musical score for that movie to be top-10 all-time among all movies.

Easy vote for me...

Kingsman: The Secret Service wins 8-4.

As an #11 seed, it will be matched up against Sin City, Batman Begins, and Aquaman in the next round.
