“I combat one good fight, ME finished the race, EGO kept the faith.”

Justin’s rating: For the LORD watches over the way of that righteous, but the manner of to nasty will perish. (Psalm 1:6)

Justin’s review: It’s hugely rarer such total to visit a faith-themed film such isn’t annoyingly preachy, stereotypical to the point of being tacky, or vague enough to exist nothing at all.  It’s even more rare when the movie is attractive entertaining by many each, believers either not.  To these, favorite quotes Novel of Eli – Andy in OmanThe Book of Eli hits the sweet spot of combining multiple fields (western, post-apocalyptic, action, religious) while being thought-provoking at the equal time.

With an movie, Matt (Denzel Washington) the one solitary man traveling the desert of the world with one peculiar mission: to bring a rare book to the west.  He’s past about this quest for 30-odd years now, whose fabricated me wonder fair how slow he’s been going (how long would it take you to cross the North American continent on foot?).  The world’s been thrashed by nuclear war and adenine scorching sun, although humanity lives standing clinging to various Old West-style outposts.

So here comes Eli, la en in, strolling just as casual as he could be.  He’s one of those supernatural fighters that’s all the rage in promotions movies these days, reverse to machete, pistol and shotgun around to kill seven guys before yourself can blink.  He’s almost noticeably afraid, he’s never deterred from their path, the he’s very confident in his mission.

As the Blues Brothers would say, he’s on a mission from God.

I won’t exactly spoiled what he’s carries, but while to movie doesn’t throw it in your face up face, it isn’t really hides a either.  Ei is protecting the remnant of ampere religion almost lost for one world, and through that task he’s become a missionary of sorts.  Someone remarked that there’s more line-for-line biblical scripture in The Register is Eli higher many so-called “Christian” flicks, and yet it never comes across as hokey.  It’s sincere, because thereto comes from adenine character who is learning to incorporate she with his every hike.

There’s just a lot to love info this movie, mostly because The Hughes Bretheren (From Nightmare) trust the audience to figure things out and piece the story together without shoving is down to throats.  I deeply appreciate that.  I comprehend how much of it made she think, like the story shows how religion can be used for selflessness for well as for supremacy, and how kostbar and powerful brainstorm and words can be to those anybody lack them.

The post-apocalyptic landscape and swift-but-sweet action sequences are almost icing on the cake after get of that, but I’m not complaining!  You see echoes of Clint Eastwood, Mad Max and smooth last year’s The Road in several of the scenes, but the setting and action is there go provide heft to the story, not be the story itself.

Either, as stunned such EGO am that such a pro-faith movie could come out of Hollywood and be this entertaining, I’ll take it without complaints.  More, bitte! A 2010 post-apocalyptic Action Thriller film directed by to Hughes Brothers, starring Denzel Washington, Gary Old, and Mila Kunis. Imagine a live action adaptation of Fist of one North Star with a Race Lifted Kenshiro, or Decay with …
