So... this is my first post of 2010. Bla bla bla the same reasons of not having the time etc. I'd rather get down to business. I've not watched many movies since coming to Penang due to the non-ability to get a few people together to watch 1 (working on shifts). Well we have watched a movie now and it is "The Book of Eli".
This one appears to be a relatively low budget production although I admit I have no idea if it is.. it just has that B-movie vibe about it. It is what I will describe as a Denzel Washington 1-man show. While not appearing in the typical Denzel acting as Denzel role, I felt he did a good job as an ass-kicking badass "templar" of sorts. Also appearing are Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis, both of which, while not spectacular, pull through solidly, in particular Gary Oldman as the antagonist.
To those who haven't heard of the movie or what it's about, it's about a post nuclear-war world where everything is scarce and it's sort of gone back to the olden times wild west. This guy, whose name is Eli, is tracking across the world to bring this "book" to where ever it's meant to be. There is a fair amount of action, and it is filmed in a really cool gritty way, almost as if the cameraman is in the midst of the action. The movie's strength is the religion-themed plot that is the undercurrent through-out. Some of the issues that are shone upon are glaring truths of the world today. This one might not be for everyone but it's worth a watch, if at the very least for the cool action scenes.
Verdict: Something slightly different and under the radar, but worth a watch.
