kariyanine Film Review: The Book of Eli

 Religion is power. It is a simple statement and one that carries quite a bit of truth to it because regardless of where you stand on issues of faith it is hard to deny that religion has been at the center of most of human history. Much good in the ...

Flap_jackson This Book Is A Good Movie

Walking into The Book of Eli, I didn't really know what to expect aside from the fact that it's set in a depressing post-apocalyptic wasteland, and it features Denzel wielding a big knife and doing cool things with it. If that's all the movie had been, I probably would have ...

MasterPr0phet Deliver Us.

  I was unaware that religious undertones could still be effective in film today, but "The Book of Eli" undoubtedly proves that point. The film stars Denzel Washington as Eli, a man whom is on a mission. He contains the last of a sacred book (*spoiler alert for the rest ...

Delta_Assault The Good Book, in a somewhat good film

I thought Book of Eli was really well made. The directors did a great job of conveying the dried up and desolate environment. In fact, between Book of Eli and The Road, I'd say BoE actually did a better job presenting that bleak vision. Of course, BoE also probably had ...

isomeri Post-Apocalpytic Spaghetti

The Book of Eli is an interesting post-apocalyptic story which takes most of it's beats from iconic Western and Kurosawa films. The main protagonist Eli, played by Denzel Washington, is obsessed with delivering a copy of the King James Bible to the west-coast of the United States in a world ...
