The Book of Eli<\/a><\/strong> (EV): Set in a post-apocalyptic America, this action-drama is about an enigmatic traveller named Eli (Denzel Washington) on a mysterious journey towards the west coast involving a valuable book. Along the way he comes across marauding bandits, a town ruled by the villainous Carnegie (Gary Oldman), and a young woman who he befriends (Mila Kunis).<\/p>\n

Although The Hughes Brothers<\/a> haven’t made a film since From Hell<\/a> (2001), they manage to craft an entertaining and well-paced film with a satisfying twist. Although it owes a lot to other films in this genre (notably Mad Max 2<\/a>) there are some nice ideas sprinkled in amongst the well-staged action sequences. Shot on the high-definition Red One<\/a> camera, the visual look of the film is striking due to the heavy use of filters and the Blu-ray transfer is satisfyingly smooth.
