Thirty years into the aftermath of the apocalypse in which the earth was burned by a solar flair, a loner played by Denzel Washington is traveling cross country with the last remaining copy of the Holy Bible. He is on a quest to get it into the right hands and hopefully do the world some good. In his travels he comes across a shanty town founded and run by Carnagie, played by Gary Oldman, who has been on a quest to find a copy of the bible to use its words to deceive and control the masses.
Book of Eli is a very interesting tale, which depicts how the Holy word can be used as the key to salvation or an instrument of evil. The Book of Eli is a fun and interesting movie and is the first film from The Hughes Brothers since From Hell. It’s only downfall is Mila Kunis. She’s adequate in light hearted comedies, but in dramatic roles, she tanks. Her stale and at times over acted performance took me out of the movie a couple of times. She was definitely miscast.
