The ORB's take: Fresh plot, great fight scenes.

Movie Review:
If you liked Denzel Washington in "Man of Fire" and "Training Day" then you will enjoy this film as well. This is a post-apocalyptic film so it is very "grey" and dull-looking most of the movie. The plot is fresh because Denzel's character "Eli" is carrying the last Bible on earth, and has a mission to place it into the hands of someone that will protect it. After the sun burnt up the Earth, the ones that lived demanded that all of the Bibles be destroyed because of the power that it held. "Eli" is protected when he carries the book, which provides some impressive fight scenes, because there are many people after him trying to steal the book and the power that the holds. This will be a great DVD watch or a worth-while matinee.
