The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I have watched this movie six times and found it to get better with age. It's one of the few movies in my long life, which every actor, regardless of their status, turned in a good performance. The plot is simple, a man is on a mission and people are trying to stop him. It, as it should, allows the viewer to determine the effectiveness of it all and walk away with their own opinion, which can never be wrong!

Movie Review: "The Book Of Eli" (2009)Silver Pictures with producer Joel Silver and Alcon Entertainment under script-benefiting producer Broderick Johnson realize the original screenplay by Gary Whitta, also known for his writing contributions on "Rogue One" (2016), for a Hollywood budget of 80 Million U.S. Dollars with "From Hell" (2001) directing-approved brothers Albert and Allen Hughes, who deliver with a decisive image system of a post-apocalyptic, desaturated neo-western scenario, which becomes an ideal vehicle of contemporary action-movie entertainment for leading, also-producing actor Denzel Washington as main character Eli, who walks West on a road through a desolated rural mid-west USA, thirty years after an unspeakable war, gathering random pieces of use, arrow-shooting a hairless cat for food purposes in a extremely well-executed opening shot by cinematographer Don Burgess under slight rain of ash within detailed-researched, homeless-scene-indulging production design by Gae S. Buckley, which then throughout "The Book Of Eli" keeps its tension of following the Afro-American man Eli, protecting his book, fighting hostiles and prevail in focus for his journey.The explicit action scenes come in frequent dosage, which surprise with precisely choreographed motions of a weaponized martial art variations, when Eli's sharpened senses, passion for battery-low running MP3-music playing gadget of rhythm & blues leading him to meet further memorable outlined characters in a dusty, daylight-high-pitching small town, where the character of Carnegie, performed by menacing-looking, range-playing actor Gary Oldman, builds a nemesis character for loner Eli, when confrontations arise in gun violence for the secret book-emerging knowledge towards power and highly-active, contra-giving female characters, portrayed by emotional-arc playing actress Mila Kunis as Solara; and further character conflicts of her husband Carnegie-outplaying actress Jennifer Beals as Claudia shares emotional beats in a quietly-received chamber room scene of paced satisfactions that mark a fair equivalence to full-frontal early-on showdown of a camera-immersive shoot-out at 75 minutes to a further subconsciously-creeping cannibal couple's house exterior location, before Eli breaks-free from oppression to deliver the book of books to its final destination at Western shores with further out-of-the-ordinary suspense-holding cameos by character actors as Michael Gambon and Malcolm McDowell. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I just love Mila Kunis. This movie is about an apocalyptic future, where only the strongest is going to survive. Every single book can be rarely finded and the one man is keeping the only copy of Holly Book with himself. Ofcourse, in this situation, where the human rase is nearly to be extinguished, every place is full of outlaws, killers and rival gangs. One of their leaders is Gary Oldman with his ruthless female bodyguard Mila Kunis. Gary's time is nearly to be overed, because organized criminal groupes can't be loyal in their own rangs, if there isn't the only one "Charlie" which stands for name of the Queen and Country. Frankly, I don't believe in sacrament of church, but I can say that in some hand, I'm a believer. I have to say that I don't prefer the law, but the order, because that is the only thing which matters in civilized countries of today. Sincerelly yours Dushan Petrovich, The Goblins, Red Star sport club from Belgrade, Serbia.
