The Book of Eli
It’s "Mad Max" meets "The Road" in this post-apocalyptic world 30 years after some nuclear disaster. It plays like an old western where the lone drifter arrives in a town run by a tyrant and his gang of thugs. The stranger, who wants no trouble, carries something valuable that others want to take away from him. As expected, Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman superbly play their roles. You’ll get a real kick out of the George and Martha characters. The action sequences are great when they occur, but the film seems to drag in between those scenes. Alien believes this movie needs to be seen again to be fully appreciated.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "fight the good fight and keep the faith" stars out of 4.
