Version tsunami with Roland Emmerich 2012

"The book of Eli", Albert and Allen Hughes

with Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Milan Kunis, Ray Stevenson and Jennifer Beals. 1: 40.

The end of the world a rating. Version tsunami with Roland Emmerich "2012". Version aftermath of apocalypse with "The road" of John Hillcoat. This is in line with the latter that "The book of Eli" by the Hughes brothers: same devastated landscapes, same low skies, same gang of villains. Thirty years after the "great lightning", a man walks alone on the road. It is very zen and turns an opponent in sushi in less time than it takes for the film. Denzel Washington, is impressive retracted power and calm determination. It goes westward to what remains of California. It is determined that person away from his path. In a village held with an iron hand by the very nasty Carnegie (Gary Oldman, perfect in his paranoid démesure) prevailing on property including the use value and exchange value are at the top in a time of overwhelming drought: water. As powerful as it is, short Carnegie after most valuable asset again, a certain book able to bring the eternal power. This book, the last copy existing on this planet, is Eli the trimbale in his backpack. Despite a few good final surprises, the scenario of the "book of Eli" laziness. But worn by exceptional actors and a great tension in the staging, he managed to install a climate of western biblical post-nuclear quite attractive.
