Even though the movie The Book of Eli, started out slow, it ended on an inspirational note. Denzel Washington was superb in his character of Eli, whom was called by God 30 years ago to complete a task. The religion undertone to the movie was mild, but effective in delivering the movie's message. If you belive in God, u would appreciate The Book of Eli, because it covers the theme we hear over and over again in church, which is: a simple man receiving a call from God and of God's protection of that man through all obsicles until his task has been completed. This is a must see.
