to your wish list?
Storyline:
In a violent post-apocalyptic society, a drifter, Eli (Denzel Washington), has been wandering westward across North America for the last thirty years. He finds solace in a unique book which he carries on his person and guards closely, while surviving by hunting small animals and seeking goods in destroyed houses and vehicles to trade in villages for water and supplies. When he reaches a village ruled by the powerful mobster, Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the man views Eli's impressive fighting skills and offers Eli a place within his gang. Carnegie presses his blind lover Claudia (Jennifer Beals) to send her daughter, Solara (Mila Kunis), to at least convince Eli to spend the night by sleeping with him. However, Eli proves to be the better man when he gently declines her advances. The girl sees Eli's book, and when Carnegie finds out he beats her mother until she reveals what she saw. Carnegie sends his gang into the wasteland to take the book from Eli, but the man proves to be a formidable foe as he makes it more than clear that if they want the book, they must first take his life.

This is a directors commentary, without the soundtrack.
MOVIES REVIEWER
The Hughes brothers(Albert and Allen) directed this 118-min movie starring Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, and Gary Oldman.
Filmed using the RED digital camera, this bleak color-leached post-apocalyptic tale suffers from a serious case of plodding slow pacing. At almost 2 hours, it simply dragged on and on... and could have been shortened to 1.5hr with little loss to the plot.
That said - the plot/story itself could be improved because there were a few glaring holes that would leave a intelligent movie-goer wondering 'huh???'. Gary Whitta's script needed major improvements.
The action scenes were well-choreographed and the utilization of CGI was above average.
Denzel's performance was lack-luster while Gary Oldman over-acted. Mila Kunis was a serious case of casting error - she looked too glam and totally out-of-place. Michael Gambon, Frances de la Tour, and Jennifer Beals turned in above-average performances.
VERDICT:
This movie needs a miracle.
Wait for the DVD.

For post-apocalyptic fare, this is probably the best I have seen. Denzel humanizes a role that could have turned this film into just another blood and guts fight film. Great story, profound and clever. Great commentary on power of faith and misuse of religion. And it is great to see little Jackie from That 70s Show shine in a dramatic role. Gary Oldman was superb.

I read the negative reviews (view "the other side"), & boy, are those guys confused. But not too surprisingly. For those who have recognized the animosity building in our culture over the past 40 or so years against God/Christianity, it isn't a great stretch of the imagination to see the possibility of the Bible being banned by some future government of the USA, it's not too hard to envision a violent & Godless society then arising out of the rubble of a nuclear holocaust &, if you've had any direct or indirect experience with the living God & are familiar with the Bible, it's not inconceivable to think that God would protect His Word from extinction, or that there might be a strange twist or two, or that He might do it in the way it was portrayed in this movie, or that those opposing the man He chose to carry out this task would be cut down in nearly miraculous fashion. Okay, it doesn't line up with Daniel & Revelation, but that doesn?t mean it isn?t a cool storyline. Excellent movie.
