The Book of Eli

THE BOOK OF ELI (2010) - Jan. 16, 2009
A really well made film about a lone wanderer in a post-apocalyptic wasteland who is on a mission to bring his bible (the last remaining copy) west until he finds a suitable home for it.  Stylishly directed by the Hughes brothers, this featured a vision of a post-apocalyptic wasteland that was undeniably familiar but still quite striking (I also thought that the score was a really good accompaniment to the visuals).  Denzel Washington was expectedly good, as were the other performances -- in fact the whole movie has more gravitas than you'd expect from what is ostensibly an action film.  ***1/2
