The "Book of Eli" is a rare case of a film being better than its scenario. The scenario is 'B Movie class' stuff, full of time-honoured cliches, but the excellent photography, directing and acting (in that order perhaps) make it truly 'A Class'. Denzel Washington's character was refreshingly believable despite his 'unbelievable' stunts and heroics while the other main characters are also solid supports. The strongest point of the movie is the overall atmosphere very successfully aided by high contrast, low saturation photography and wonderful use digital technology. Only European comic books have managed to create such an atmosphere and I am wondering to what extent the Hughes brothers invested in French BD (Bandes Dessinees) before filming.
Finally, I loved the ending which was refreshingly not very Hollywoodean with few sparks and good, solid retribution.

Not wanting to spoil the ending....The Book of Eli stars the lovely Denzel Washington set in what can only be described as the morning after the end of the world.
The film follows Denzel on his journey over coming adversity to complete his "quest". The movie is a visual delight and some shots could easily be pulled and displayed as wall art.
Another great Denzel movie and a must see (even if you wait until its out on DVD )
