Review of The Road (2009) by Mikeb — 01 Dec 2009
I loved the book but was disappointed by this adaptation. The performances were good (OK, Viggo and Duvall were both great) but the music and the CGI skies grated on me. It's not that it's too bleak, it's that it wasn't bleak enough.
Too many flashbacks to Charlize that just felt focus grouped. The book is uncompromising, but the film has been compromised.
