Following the amazing ‘The Proposition’, many of us were anxiously waiting for a next directing effort coming from John Hillcoat. Eventually, after 4 long years, the guy was finally coming up with a new project which was a really high profile adaptation of a classic book written by Cormac McCarthy so the expectations were huge and there was a big buzz about the movie before its release.

The future kind of sucks. (430 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: A unspecified cataclysm has destroyed civilization, killed almost all plant and animal life, and obscured the sun; only remnants of humanity are still alive, reduced to scavenging or cannibalism. Year it takes place: Unknown"

"31.5. McCarthyn lähdeteos on erinomainen, Hillcoatin adaptaatio oikein hyvä. Ajatukset siitä, mihin kaikkeen ihminen on valmis selviytyäkseen, milloin on aika luovuttaa ja millaiset ovat postapokalyptisen maailman valtasuhteet nostetaan kaikki niin hienosti esille tässä.
