I had been intending to watch The Book of Eli for ages as it had been on several times on Sky Movies however I had simply never got around to it. The film itself reminded me of a monochromatic depressing version of Mad Max. A lethal-in-a fight Denzel Washington is walking westwards protecting a book from a typically villainous Gary Oldman. There isn't much background given on the characters and to be honest the whole affair is quite predictable. Bits of it feel a bit like a spaghetti western... the lawlessness of a broken down society is well portrayed but I felt there was something missing. Worth watching on TV but nothing more.
Rating: 6.5/10
