The Book of Eli (2010)

Rats, I was all set to rip into this one and turns out I kind of liked it. Post-apocalyptic film with a story structure kind of like a western, features Denzel Washington as our requisite lone wanderer, Gary Oldman as the villain and Mila Kunis as the girl. While much of it is The Road as imitation Robert Rodriguez film, it has more hope and the whole biblical angle gives it a little something different. A satisfying film, with a few neat cameo roles for older British actors. Grade: B-

I liked this one too. It wasn't quite what I had expected from what I had heard about it but turned out pretty good. I would have given it a solid B, maybe B+.
