I should probably start this review off with a disclaimer: I’ve always loved Denzel Washington as an actor, and even though I haven’t seen all of his movies, I can’t think of a single one that I hate.
That being said, “The Book of Eli” directed by the Hughes brothers is a thoroughly entertaining and delightfully original story set in the post apocalyptic world. It’s not necessarily the appearance of the world or the reason for its destruction that are so new. In fact, the most refreshing aspect is the conflicting motivations of its main opposing forces.
