The Book of Eli

Ive seen this movie before and I wanted to send it to a friend. He loved it!!! The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic time and the main character (Denzel) is on a mission through this dangerous world. He is set apart by his mission, but also by his decency. The film is extremely violent and sometimes very gory. However, it is not gratuitous and is well worth the watch! Watch this movie!!!!

Best Denzel movie imo. Great story line. Price to rent movies on Amazon a bit steep. Are any movies included with Prime???

Many who judge this movie harshly miss the entire point of the movie, and cannot glean the meanings in here. It was a great movie. Violent certainly, one I would use good judgment around the kiddos. Wonderful music. Great acting. And a story line that seems to be a complete original outside the post apocalyptic idea. Seems several of the reviewers like to point out that God wouldnt sanction killing. Uhmmm yeah he would. You dont have to look far to see direct commands to do such things in the bible. But as usual it has become popular to christian bash in this day and age. Getting away with bigotry without all the hassle of being called a racist. Those that understand even some scripture will pick up a few key things along the way. 1. The living word will endure. This is the main focal point of the story line. 2. God will use many vessels to see his will done. Those of peace and even those of death are his. This supports the overarching storyline. Even if you are not a scholar of scripture you will still walk away with something more than you started with.

Otro clásico y éxito de Denzel Washington, si te gusta el trabajo de este actor te recomiendo ampliamente esta película.

One Word: POWERFUL. My huband and I loved the movie and highly recommend it. (Yesterday was our first time using the Redbox rental system (outside of Walgreens.) We watched this movie twice for $1.07! (tax included!) Almost bought it for $18.00, too. It was deep and the acting superb. We agree...you will need to watch it twice to catch a lot of small things that you will likely miss the first time. I dont want to give it away, so I will make just a couple of comments. When asked what was different back then, Washington remarked, we threw things away that people kill each other to get now. (i.e. WATER, chapstick, hand wipes??!) I believe it. The excesses of yesterday are beginning to catch up with us...even today. Totally believeable that 40 years from now, the minority of this country will NOT know how to read. The ones who can will be the powerful, the ones who cant... Its hard to comment much more based on the fact that I dont want to give any more away but the bottom line is: This film is well-worth watching and confirms what Believers already know...despite being in the world, we are not OF it and we ultimately have the victory!

I like the surprise at the end what a hook I didn’t expect

This movie is SO GOOD Ive bought it four times already. Ive given two away. My ex husband took one. So I made purchase #4 because this movie is just so worth it. Denzel Washington is stellar in this movie and the twist really surprised me. I dont get tired of watching this movie again from time to time. I recommend this movie all the time and will continue to do so. When our society moves past DVDs to whatever format is next, this is in my top 3 to make sure I have. If you are on the fence about purchasing this movie -- get off the fence and buy it!!!

This is a great movie and I’m not a movie person. It’s violent and has twists during the movie. My opinion it’s a guy movie on a lazy time to watch it.

One of the better distopia style movies of the recent past. A completely immersive story line that keeps you interested and doesnt drag. I like most of Denzel Washingtons movies and this one is no exception. I actually watched this one twice the first time I ever saw it because I realized I had missed an important detail the first time through and wanted to see why and where I had missed that detail. The second time through was even better than the first because I picked up so many things and images and symbols that I had missed on the first time watching. Its worth seeing more than once, and I say that about very few movies.

Great film. Have seen The Book of Eli several times and dont get tired of it. Denzel is remarkable (as well as the rest of the cast). Wonderful story that leaves you on the edge of your seat, too.
