The first month of the year is where movies go to die. Most films that are released in January are either pushed back or just not good enough to live up to other films that are released later on in the year.
I thought "The Book of Eli" could overcome that distinct title and it barely does. While not excellent in any aspect of the film, it is good in some parts. Denzel does not disappoint as usual. This is no "Man on Fire", but a more meaningful film. Slow at times but good action scenes that are not over the top. The story is a basic mission about faith and belief.
I would say that it's a rental for sure, but it may be a little too slowly paced for some.
