Charles H The Book of Eli was an excellent movie in my eyes. I think its difficult to find a Denzel movie that isn't worth watching. But just because I suggest it doesn't mean everyone will like it. My point is don't try a movie because a critic says it's not worth your time. Everyone is different and everyone enjoys different things!

The movie is set in post apocalyptic America where society as we know it is gone and people prey on each other. Enter Washington who plays a lone wanderer who encounters a town run by Oldman and his gang. Washington is found to possess a rare book which Oldman wants and more action scenes unfold as Washington now joined by Kunis attempt to escape. This was a really well made movie and it's a shame it didn't do better in theatres. Denzel Washington turns in an excellent performance, as does Gary Oldman, and the action scenes feature practical effects and Washington reportedly did all of his own fight scenes. The score of the movie was also quite good and really added to the mood of the film. Overall I really enjoyed Washington and Oldman's performances and definitely recommend this movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Griffith J. It all hangs on one concept that is not well executed. Luckily, the bleak world building, saturated look, & brutal Western tone save it. A great score, powerful performances, bold themes, & an excellent use of silhouettes.

Feels like a hastily pasted on, test audience reaction cop out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Fred T Absolutely loved this movie. Cannot fault it. One of the best ive ever seen. Thought it slipped into a tiresome trope and was pleasantly surprised. Watch if u havent.
