Picture this-Post Apocalypse...A voice in your head tell you to head west!!...And you travel for 30 years without knowing your destination..but you know it's the right thing to do...what would yo do??...That's practically the premise of 'The Book of Eli'...It's Stylish,it does involve religion and will uplift you if you are a believer like I am..and it's definitely out of the blue!!...But would you enjoy watching it...maybe not!!...
This is a movie that most people would describe as 'slow' and although there are some action sequences it does little to hasten the pace of the story...not like the makers want to rush into it anyway, as it unfolds at a lazy pace..but what keeps you glued for those 2 hours is none other than the brilliance of Denzel Washington...It's far from his regular work but there's an honesty in his performance that just transports you to his world,Eli's world...and even though the movie has little to offer...you don't mind the ride!!..
it's one of those movies whose liking will probably depend according to your mood...and a lazy sunday evening is probably the best time...I'm going with 2.5 out of 5 for 'The Book of Eli'...It's the kind of movie that doesn't come by often!!
Keep reelin' :-)
