score 8/10
Apocolyptic movies are coming back in a big way over the past couple of years from I Am Legend, 2012, The Road and now The Book Of Eli and what a great apocalyptic movie Eli is, Denzel Washington knows how to pick a good script, the man rarely puts a foot wrong, and with a chance to work with The Hughes Brothers who have been absent for some time now, The Brothers are back with there best film so far... So what we have is Eli with the last Bible on earth and he's travelling to a place where civilisation can start again and also to bring back some order to a world that has been ravaged by some type of global war (its hinted that it could be some type of religious war?) we also have Gary Oldmans character (on bad guy duty again) who wants the book as well for his own personal gain and agenda.. The look of the film works really well, the colours have been drained and it really captures the world in a complete mess with the help of some really cool FX.. The film delivers on the action stakes as well with some very well choreographed brutal fights and inventive shootouts. And Denzels Eli is a cross between Mad Max in the Road Warrior and Zatoichi, we have this lone warrior on a mission from God and no one is going to stand in his way..This is one of the best Apocolyptic movies out there, so if you get the chance, check it out..
