The Book of Eli Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ
January 29, 2025
📖 Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman performances are so outstanding ; it is hard to tell who did better than who. Mila Kunis is not just an eye candy; but a brave young girl who goes against odds has done good job. Surrealistic visual effects take your breath away. Background score is one of the best in contemporary Hollywood cinema. The Hughes brothers gave such a haunting - not in the sense of fear - post apocalyptic action drama ; I bet it is their masterpiece. Action sequences by Jeff Imada hollywood's top list Stunt coordinator add spice to this brilliantly made movie.

Washington doesn't look as if he's having much fun, and who can blame him?
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Allen and Albert Hughes have created a plausible post-apocalyptic world.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
t's a post-apocalyptic western, it's an evangelical tract, it's a road movie, it's a martial arts movie, it's a disaster movie, it's a graphic novel. It's equal parts The Road and The Robe, A Fistful of Dollars and Fist of Fury. It's Mad Max meets Left Be

Laremy Legel
The Hughes brothers' film feels more vibrant than the bleak Road, which was launched at us in November. Here the brothers show us the horror but somehow the staid and calm Denzel feels more approachable than the distraught and scrambling Viggo.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
A stylish, gritty fantasy feature that wrestles with the agonies, joys and eternal wrinkles of faith and evil and the dangerous minuet they do.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
What strength and intensity the movie musters begins and ends with Washington.

Having to put your brain on cruise control to appreciate a movie is never a good sign, but in this film's case, letting yourself go for two hours is well worth it.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
The Book Of Eli is just one hot mess with choppy biblical undertones... The filmmakers just tried to get too deep with something that was not fully developed.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Post-apocalypse films are a dime a dozen, so what makes The Book of Eli so different? Not much, except an evangelical subplot that is not strong enough to be this film's savior.
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
This picture is one big waste of time, including that of the actors and those in the audience who pay to see it.
House Next Door
Simon Abrams
While the whole film looks like its aesthetic was cobbled together from some as-yet-unreleased Resident Evil game, the action scenes look like they're all filmed with the know-nothing grace of the nerds who create the movie interludes in video games.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
I'm not going to give it away, but there's a final plot twist in this movie that is beyond absurd.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The filmmakers have an unusually persuasive star in Washington, who can sell lines like, "We had more than we needed" and "I walk by faith, not by sight."
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A hyper-violent, post-apocalyptic Western in the mold of Mad Max that can't make up its mind whether it wants to be corny or misanthropic.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Poetic psalms uttered amid stylized violence are disconcerting. Religion and bloodshed, though linked through much of history, make queasy entertainment partners.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
There is very little in the way of meat on this picture's bones, and while I appreciated its points of view I didn't particularly enjoy being beaten over the head by them.
Newsweek
Lisa Miller
For those of us in the reading and writing business-for anyone, really, who loves the written word-the movie has a powerful resonance. It reminds us that literacy can't be taken for granted.
Austin Chronicle
A kickass piece of contemporary entertainment.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
While the religious content makes itself felt, sometimes strongly, the heavy action quotient -- the story of Eli the slasher -- tears feelings to tatters.
