Nice review, and I'm glad you stuck through it -- I could easily see people bailing do to the slow relentlessness of the film.

I've read the book, and I'm not sure which was a bigger surprise for me: That the film is a VERY good adaptation of the book, or that the film exists at all.

Haha yeah it's been a never ending battle to find a template I like. I don't know any programming so I'm at the mercy of the designer. Each one seems to have some problem I can't fix, for example now I can't get Disqus to work so I'm back to the generic Blogger post comments thing. It's really, really pissing me off to say the least.

Seems like this site changes looks every other day :) Not that I'm complaining, the new design looks awesome man.

I thought it missed a little more "heart" to more effectively engage the viewer. However, I did enjoy the movie for its very real and bleak portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world as well as the very good performance from Viggo Mortensen. Good review of the movie.

This is probably a better summary than my entire three hundred word ramble. Well said.

Haven't read the book but I could definitely see this movie going much darker. The movie seemed to focus exclusively on the relationship between father and son, not sure if the book delved more into the world (or what's left of it) and all the depraved activities going on.

This film was a breath of stale air, something different and unpleasant, yet in a wierd way not entirely negative. What I took from this (aside from a severely depressed mood) was that where there's life, there's hope. Good review James.

Viggo has really become a top actor. He's made some interesting film choices and has certainly stayed away from mainstream stuff since LOTR.

The book was so freakin grim and dark, that coming into this movie, I was expecting right away to be utterly depressed, and I was, just not that much. It could have gone farther, but I'm still at least glad it stuck to the general mood of the book.

Viggo's definitely one of my favorites too. Hi...

Viggo's definitely one of my favorites too. His performance in Eastern Promises was just perfect and that film never gained the acclaim I think it deserved.

I love Viggo. Definitely my favorite of favs. This flick doesn't seem to be getting huge applause, and from your review and others the darkness of it doesn't seem to have much redeeming even though it's told well. When I'm feeling depressed I'll finally sit down to get even more depressed with it.

Nice review! This film has been sitting on my netflix queue for awhile now, I think I need to bump it up and finally watch it.

Thought there were a couple of slow moments but I agree that overall the acting was phenomenal. Kodi Smit McPhee really shined in this film. Not sure how old he is in real life but that one of the best performances I've seen from a child actor in a long time.
