The Book of Eli started out as an intriguing post-apocalyptic action flick but the second half of the film turned preposterous and offered one of the worst movie finishes I've ever seen. Denzel was very good as a mystery man who is trekking across the country to complete an undetermined quest. Of course, a bad guy stands in his way and a woman causes him to stray off his path...shocking...I know. I don't begrudge the predictability of the story but the acting of Gary Oldman (doing an impersonation of Dana Carvey doing an Jack Nicholson impersonation) and Mila Kunis was inexcusable. The film gave us very interesting visuals but it never delivered on the promise provided by the first 20 minutes. (2/4/2010)
