If you are not emotionally spent by the end of this film then you don't have a heartbeat. I drove for 45 minutes to one of the only theaters in our part of MI to see The Road. I fell in love with the book when I first read it and wanted to see how true the film would be to it. Viggo Mortensen goes above and beyond what most actors would do for a role. Kodi Smith-McPhee will be someone to watch for in the years to come. Upon leaving the ladies room, I over heard a lady say it was a very boring movie. A lady next to me turned to me and said, she must not have any children. I think the younger more selfish generation won't appreciate the beauty that is to be found in this amazing film.
