Got a poor mans version downloaded so might give that a try.

Quote:With its religious overtones and unabashedly Christian hero, The Book Of Eli has more on its mind than your average end-of-the-world flick. Strip away its bloated sense of self-importance, though, and you are left with a reheated spaghetti western with a garnish of Mad Max mayhem. Denzel – first seen offing an emaciated cat in what some may read as payback for Fallen – exudes nobility as the driven Eli but is a real drag to be around, as Carnegie’s hot stepdaughter Solara (Mila Kunis) discovers after she decides to follow him into the wilderness. With its deserted cars, decaying skeletons and marauding bands of unwashed scavengers, meanwhile, said wilderness has little new to offer, especially to those who caught The Road, Carriers or I Am Legend

Quote:Verdict:

For all its knife scraps, shoot-outs, big bangs and fisticuffs, Denzel’s latest is a sluggish affair weighed down by its lofty themes. It also comes with a preposterous twist and a paying-the-rent performance from Oldman that’s pure cured ham.
