Denzel Washington in Le Livre d'Eli (2010)

Review by filthy_morphine

Le Livre d'Eli

4/10

Christian propaganda

I think this movie is a shameless Christian propaganda. It has Vatican written all over it, or maybe some US Christian organisation paid for it. Unfortunately - or actually rather - thank God the authors did a very poor job wrapping the message. They ripped of a western theme - lonely cowboy doing good deeds on his journey to the west. He meets evil in the form of bad sheriff of a poor town. There's a fight, final shootout and peaceful ending. All spiced up with post-apocalyptic stage set - which I suspect is supposed to add volume to the leitmotiv of the movie. And of course it had a side effect as well ... very simple and cheap CGI (which was eye striking the whole movie). There's no sense in finding holes or say little errors in the story - there's no real story. If you go to your closest church on Sunday you'll most probably get the same story. I think some of the acting wasn't very bad but as the directing was quite poor it didn't show. All in all - terrible faith propaganda bordering zealotry with poor craftsmanship.
