I saw The Book of Eli over the weekend. Good movie, well worth a matinee, The story is a little weak, but the action is top notch and the acting solid. And after you get the reveal at the end, you’ll spend the next few days going over the whole movie in your head and kicking yourself over how you missed something so obvious (since you get clues from the first scene to the end).

Seconded, on all counts… And especially the “clues from beginning to end” bit. The biggest thing that stood out to me was why the book was so damned big, but I just wrote it off as being a special edition, illuminated or big-print or something.
I was right, just not right enough.
A little more stress on how the sun above was blinding people, and how The Flash also did so, might have made it easier to put the pieces together, but I guess that would have ruined the denoument.
In any case, the fight scenes alone made the movie worth it, coupled with Denzel Washington’s outstanding on-screne presence – few people could have sold that as well as he did.
So it’s better than “Blind Fury?”
