I saw "Book of Eli" Friday night. On the surface, it seems to be standard post-Apocalyptic fare. However, it deepens into something much more thought-provoking.

Denzel Washington plays a man who has been walking west for almost 30 years. It seems that God has told him to bring the last remaining bible on Earth to California. He wanders into a town run by a corrupt and evil man, played by Gary Oldman, who is obsessed with getting a copy of the bible, as he understands its power. Jennifer Beals and Mila Kunis play a mother and daughter held captive by Oldman's character.

I don't want to give more than that away, but the film was better than I expected. At first, I thought it was a rip off of the Mad Max series, but it turned out to be a very different film. I highly recommend it.
