Review of The Book of Eli (2010) by Derek D — 26 Aug 2012
A very slick and stylish post-apocalyptic western set in a world where basic needs are scarce (such as water, etc). Denzel plays Eli, a man who is destined to travel west with what appears to be the last copy of the bible and must hold onto it at all costs.
Gritty, violent, stylish, well-acted...all these terms can describe this film. The only things I didn't like about this film were that Denzel can't die or even get majorly hurt and Mila Kunis, who is an average actress at best.
Even worse is that they set this up for maybe some kind of sequel or plotline where she keeps going where Denzel left off...roaming the wastelands. That's a sequel I would avoid...unless Gary Oldman does that one, too.
