Kung Fu meets The Road, as Denzel Washington (The Taking Of Pelham 123, Deja Vu) goes all warrior monk and walks across a post-apocalyptic America (reminiscent of the wild west, but with cannibals) with his treasured book. Gary Oldman (The Unborn, The Fifth Element) once again plays a psychotic bad guy, and the American fascination with linking old men with much younger women continues, as Mila Kunis ( Forgetting Sarah Marshall , Max Payne ) becomes Denzel’s disciple.
The Book Of Eli has a name stars in a b-grade setting (not a bad thing), good performances and action sequences, and Malcolm MacDowell (Doomsday, Heroes). It is a good post-apocalyptic film. It would be very good if not for the overwhelming religious implications and some nonsensical scripting.
