Review – The Book of Eli

I really loved two aspects of this movie. First, the fight scenes were impressive. Really good choreography, especially for a Hollywood production. Second, the backdrops were great. I was particularly fond of the flattened cityscapes with big nuclear bomb craters here and there. Unfortunately, the rest of the picture wasn't so hot. The hero got on my bad side from almost the very first frames by killing a cat. But far worse was the plot, a relentless parade of hah-I'll-bet-you-weren't-expecting-that moments (especially the big twist at the end). They should have just stuck to fighting. Mildly amusing
