DML Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ - good

"People had more than they needed, people didn't know what was precious and what wasn't, people threw away things they kill each other for now." - Eli

Why watch this? Denzel adds a level of gravitas to this post-apocalyptic thriller.

Plot Summary: In a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, a solitary wanderer named Eli journeys westward with a precious, mysterious book. He is driven by a mission to protect this book, which he believes holds the key to humanity's future. Along the way, he encounters challenges from a ruthless leader who desperately wants the book for himself.

Dad's Preview: Set after the end of the world (and filmed in muted tones), a lone man wanders the brutal wasteland. He is stoic, independent, and lethally capable of defending himself. This is not a world for the weak. Denzel gives this loner a humanistic side, as he fights to survive in this dystopian landscape. His inspiration, an ear-marked old book he carries with him. A warlord called Carnegie wants the book and is willing to kill for it.
