A post-apocalyptic flick with Denzel Washington, which gives it one plus and one minus. Usualkly Washington only does movies that reflect the chip on his shoulder, but I figured maybe he's doing somethign different. Then I had a look at the trailer and the actual title of the flick, the whole thing about a man bearing a book that will save the world, and thought "Oh, the book's going to be the Bible". But, I saw it anyway. And as it started I tought "please dond't just be the Bible. It was, and from there the the religious accent continued.

Now, the post-apocalyptic stuff is good, and once I knew it had to be the Bible, began to think "Okay, what's the shtick?" Besides just being the Bible, what's different about this particular copy, what is the hook at the end? Well, the bad guy gets the book to use for his evil purposes, Denzel reaches his destination and finds he can recite the entire book from memory anyway (been carrying it for 30 years, readign every day), and what is the final bit? The book is written in brail, useless to the bad guy. But why? Because our hero is blind! Now wait, back up. Okay, so they have him with a sharp smell and always wearing dark glasses, but he looks at people, looks at the next building over the cliff to see if anyone's there, looks through stuff, in short has no symptoms of being blind. Daylight sensitive maybe, but blind? Doesn't track at all.

So, promising start but loose follow-up with religious overtones. I've seen worse, but I wish I'd seen that Jackie Chan flick instead.
