A film very, very strange. And it is undoubtedly his attention. Denzel Washington does a lot of superheroes Mano a mano against bad horrible, how could it be otherwise?

"The Book of Eli" offers a new post-apocalyptic scenario, it seems that happens after that we are told, a big hole, a "flash", opened in the sky during a war, called Solara. It has darkened the world.

What comes from this event? A desert world, of course. And the film does not really try to be very different from the offer Road Warrior, except there are no car chases. The only thing is that both hero and villain are motivated and directed by, of all things, the Bible. The film will be approved or condemned by a good Christian is someone to guess. Cruelty and sadism are required That, of course, and we feel overwhelmed by a serious lack of imagination. That is, until the end. In this is a sign of good sense and plausibility.

Some. Bleak in the absence of any sign of a comedian, with a sterile hard, choking dust texture sepia desert visual motif – almost black and white in many areas – We feel a certain lack of variation, some punctuation in the dark, some nuances.

However, what makes the charismatic Denzel performance measurement, and can probably live with that, even if you wait for a real statement about the book on its degree of corruption of human emotions and sublime messages.

Almost fatal for the film, ultimately, is its many examples that you're left with the question: "Yes, but how? … What … where? "In other words, its unlikely unanswered and the contradictions are more uncomfortable. However, surprisingly, the factor of uncertainty is very impressive, film predator-prey situation is exceptionally well together.

So is Eli, a mysterious hobo for 30 years through the arid land dead after the great destruction. Coated, as required for this type of film, sunglasses and a backpack, which also carries a formidable blade – and the world continues being the Bible. A voice ordered Eli to go before the West with the Bible and see its way to the base of a new Earth.

The routes on which moves are completed the remains of a destroyed civilization, which existed before Flash, which we understand have been due to war.

Soon it will be processed manually Eli-a skill melee as found lurking cannibal barbarians are very absurd attack. With his (apparently) a bit of supernatural powers and his sword of fire is reduced the work of all but one. Presumably, the book helped in this area.

The only survivor, he wonders where it's headed. He says, "West." That's it. In the landscape are the lack of maintenance for 30 years. No attempt has been made by anyone to rebuild a semblance of civilization.

But enough to make a vacuum that may have been a deserted city at a time. In a desert behind a desk, a man of great bodyguard and a bald head evil-looking dwarf Carnegie (Gary Oldman). It seems fascinated to read a biography of Benito Mussolini.

Carnegie is a sovereign state by the intellect. All around him are stupid. But he knows that the source of water, something that keeps him in power. Sometimes the main quest in recent years has been – a Bible. In fact, there are but few survivors who remember how things were before the great tribulation. But there is the belief that religion was the cause of all this, including a campaign to destroy the Bible. Carnegie believes it can achieve the supreme power by word search.

Carnegie Eli is at your disposal. So required. Eli refuses. Carnegie SICS his followers of him. Big mistake. Now the two are mortal enemies. Carnegie army of little fortune in his jerry-rigged cars, chasing Eli. More than one subject of this lawsuit is still a baby, Solara (Mila Kunis), which is named after the great event. She is the stepdaughter of Carnegie, and here's your chance to escape.

Found refuge in the home from an elderly couple (Michael Gambon and Frances de la Tour) who used the records area and play an old phonograph (The only hint of a moment of humor in the film).

Carnegie frustrated, did not help his situation with his blind wife (Jennifer Beals) that abuse. Its thugs head, Carmine (Ray Stevenson), Solara wanted for himself.

The film is a curiosity as it and what does not. It is also of low yield and disbelief.
