Some years after an apocalyptic event, a man named Eli is travelingacross the country carrying a book. Coming into a small town ofsurvivors, he encounters a man called Carnegie, who wants the book forhimself.
The Hughes Brothers, directors of From Hell and Menace II Society amongothers, have created an interesting and thoughtful action movie, thatalso carries a message of faith and hope. The action set-pieces arewell handled, and the photography of the movie, is very well done.While the setting itself isn't particularly new, along similar lines toMad Max and other movies of this kind, they still get some prettyimpressive visuals.
They are also helped by having two of the best actors around in thismovie. Denzel Washington carries the movie easily and is also veryconvincing in the action sequences. Gary Oldman as Carnegie gives aperformance more in line with some earlier work, such as Leon than somerecent performances but he is always worth watching. The rest of thecast, led by Mila Kunis all give good support.
If I have a concern for the movie, it's about the final moments of themovie, where a final twist happens. Without giving it away, I'm notcompletely sure it works within the movie.
But it's a minor issue. Up till then, this is a solid action movie,that doesn't overly rely on CGI, which is rare in recent action movies.
Well worth a watch.
