The Book of Eli has an interesting story about a man in post-apocalyptic America to convey an unnamed book somewhere part of the west coast. It happened thirty (30) years after an immense war which blew a hole in the sky, much like a nuclear war, that ruined the totality of the world. Eli has been travelling under the most miserable of circumstances for thirty (30) years which only proved that he has a powerful conviction and determination to the calling. On his journey to the west he encountered hijackers and cannibals that he needs to avoid and fight. Eli manages himself and takes down anyone who tries to get in his way. The essential of the movie happens when he breaks off in a small town headed by Gary Oldman and his cruel motorcycle riding gangs. The succeeding conflict is yet another test of Eli's convictions. The movie ended in a surprisingly manner that would definitely make the viewers think back of the previous scenes.

Denzel Washington (Eli) is a remarkable actor that possesses the undoubtedly charisma he convey to all of his roles. Talking about the making of the movie itself, the movie has exhibits an action sequence that made it more stimulating for the viewers. For me, the movie has a philosophical message that I considered spiritual. Spiritual in the way it presents the role of the bible in today's modern world. It also exhibits the power of the spoken and written words in combination with faith in times of catastrophe. Definitely, I would suggest watching the movie for the film holds a certain attribute that is most of the time lacking in the today’s film. The Book of Eli seems to be a combination of Western, action, drama, and etc. all combined in a futuristic yet historical and spiritual way.
