The Book of Eli - Tow Jockey Five Second Review

Perhaps not so over the top as The Road Warrior but in a similar vein, The Book of Eli takes us on a trip across a bleak and barren wasteland. Denzel Washington, perhaps the best action star working in Hollywood today,  is the requisite bad ass loner hero.  Gary Oldman is the semi-sadistic bad ass for the antagonist. This role is not on par with his best villains such as Zorg from the Fifth Element or Stansfield from The Professional but even at 3/4 power, Oldman is great. We've got the ultra hot Mila Kunis who shows she has more talent  than she was ever allowed to display on That 70's Show. The whole movie is shot with a bleached out look devoid of colors which I thought added to the atmosphere greatly. This is an old testament post apocalyptic  tale filled with action. adventure and a decent story. The producers had a moment of bullshit politically correct pussification for a second right at the end which I found annoying as hell but outside of that, the movie is well worth your time.
