Movie Review : The Book of Eli

The Book of Eli is an unexpected surprise and a wonderful example of a Christian Speculative film. Although violent in places and one would expect such in a post apocalyptic film, the final scenes and the unexpected twist at the end make this a must see movie.

It focuses on the journey of Eli, a traveler who has been walking west for the past thirty years. He did so at the urging of a voice in his head. He stumbles upon a town run by a mafia type leader who tries to take the 'book' from the hero. What ensues is gaining a new travel companion, a long chase, explosions and gun battles.In the end he reaches his destination, and in the interest of keeping the end a surprise, a powerful message.

On another note, this blogger has just recently learned of Denzil Washington's faith and was pleasantly surprised he was one of the producers of the movie.

I would give this film four stars out of five.
