The Book of Eli
Worth a look for a decent denzel performance - chrisjs
Felt a little like "the road" for the first 10 mins but quickly more action and a brilliant performance by denzel. Definitely worth seeing - the slow intro scene is memorable.

Another great survival movie - Congress 465
This movie follows in the tradition of great actors taking on a tough movie assignment. All three are great pictures. " I am Legend" and "The Road " are the other similar movies that are a must see. MORE
