PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"The Book of Eli isn't as exciting or funny (...) as it wants and needs to be (...) But Washington, a movie star who can act, is one cool dude who is worth following anywhere. (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"(...) a bizarre and sententious pastiche" (Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal)

----------------------------------------
" (...) a dynamic story, sprinkled with some interesting ideas" (Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle)

----------------------------------------
"The Book of Eli employs the genre conventions of the western to make mythic its principal character (...) in a word: inspirational." (Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer)

----------------------------------------
"A hyper-violent, post-apocalyptic Western in the mold of 'Mad Max' (...) Gary Oldman makes a great villain (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Michael O’Sullivan: The Washington Post)

----------------------------------------
"The Road with twice the plot, four times the ammunition, and half the brains; it’ll probably make 10 times the money (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Ty Burr: Boston Globe)

----------------------------------------
"Travolta had his Battlefield Earth, Costner had his Waterworld and now Denzel Washington has his truly awful sci-fi epic, The Book of Eli." (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune )
