The Book of Eli - A disappointing 2.5/5

The Book of Eli stars Academy Award Winner Denzel Washington in a promising tale set in what appears to be a Post Apocalyptic World. The plot is simple; Eli (Denzel) has the last known bible known to man and Carnegie (Oldman) seeks to posses the book, given the absolute power in which it holds and frankly this film fails to deliver from all angle's and at times drags along. One plus point is the films action sequences consisting of swords, guns and an Ice-cool Denzel Washington (Would you expect anything else?) although the tale itself does unwind slowly towards the end you get the feeling this is a film sending a message as to a piece of cinematic elegance. Does he get the book in the end? Well that remains to be seen but this film, given its cast was a major disappointment and gets a rather weak 2.5/5
