Another piece of Denzel action here brought to us by the Hughes brothers (Menace 2 Society, From Hell, Dead Presidents).
In what is a massive though decent ripoff of Mad Max 2, Eli wanders the post-apocalyptic bad lands ever heading west, righting wrongs and chopping off many heads.
There's a great cast that includes Gary Oldman's pantomime villain, Michael Gambon, the lovely Frances de la Tour and even Malcolm McDowell.
I do enjoy this film but, though there is a vague twist in the end, I can't help but feel a better writer would have used something less obvious than the Bible. The Joy of Cooking maybe... or Winnie the Pooh.
The Hughes brothers rarely have missed and this is a really watchable movie, holes or not, it's enjoyable trash.
(Why would cannibalism give you shaky hands?)
