"Cursed is the ground because of you, both thistles and thorns it shall grow for you, for you are dust and to dust you shall return."

Warning: It's impossible to fully evaluate The Book of Eli in a review without divulging what some may consider to be spoilers, even though the film and the trailers make no effort to hide this 'spoiler'. A spoiler warning is therefore in effect, but ... read more

Although I am a fan of all things post-apocalyptic I found this to be rather disappointing. It did have some things going for it - the cinematography was nice, effectively using a muted colour palette. The acting was decent enough with a solid performance from Denzel Washington in the lead role, though he never gets to do anything particularly interesting, and able support from leading lady Mila... read more

"Denny Dubs does it again! He is one of the few entirely reliable leads in the industry. He know how to carry a movie no matter what.

The rest of the cast is forgettable. "
