The Book of Eli (2010)

Years after a nuclear holocaust, Denzel Washington travels westerly across the former United States protecting the last remaining copy of the Bible from people like Gary Oldman who would use the book for his own nefarious reasons. Some nifty action sequences, effective barren cinematography, and a pretty cool twist are marred somewhat by the silliness of the religious aspects. It really begs the extremes of disbelief that a book found in 90% of the households in a country would manage to all be destroyed except for one or that all the Christians would mysteriously disappear in thirty years. Luckily Washington and Oldman both bring their A games though and make the experience worthwhile.  SciFi  Action
