Product Description
Eli walks alone in post-apocalyptic America. He heads west along the Highway of Death on a mission he doesn't fully understand but knows he must complete. In his backpack is the last copy of a book that could become the wellspring of a revived society. Or in the wrong hands, the hammer of a despot. Denzel Washington is Eli, who keeps his blade sharp and his survival instincts sharper as his quest thrusts him into a savage wasteland... and into explosive conflict with a resourceful warlord (Gary Oldman) set on possessing the book. "We walk by faith, not by sight," quotes Eli.
Beautiful - this is what wide screens were made of. The Book of Eli is visually and orally a banquet.
What a pleasure to watch and it was a real draw because of it's beauty - the story was not all there at times and it was no all comprehensible by me - but it did not matter. Denzel was a pleasure to watch and Gary is a pleasure because I was not aware that it was him! In fact the closest character that he resembles is the cop that he was in Leon.
The story was a little too religious in part but I did not really care - she (whoops) was beautiful to look at......
Spoiler - the piece about the texts being destroyed was inherent of another film which I love and it is Fahrenheit 451.
