alright! action!
Post apocalyptic tale as we are sort of used to: the desolation, the rag-tag bands of bad people in That Town, etc. Guy is taking a book "west", gets to a town where the Evil Leader wants it. Conflict ensues, then resolution.
I have to say that I was happily surprised by this movie in general. Did what it could within a well-worn genre. Bad-assed fight scenes! Slicing and dicing! Gary Oldman is excellent in Bad Mode here, as usual. Denzel Washington is also excellent in Righteous Mode, as usual.
Our main character is a good guy, as in morally so. I liked that. I also liked conclusion of the movie, which I won't ruin for anyone who hasn't seen it-- it is an interesting twist they threw in.
I'll give this one a 9.8 on the Tacoma Scale for: action! a good guy as a main character! Mila Kunis! overall decency! appropriate violence! comeuppances! and a twist.
Watch it if you like that sort of thing.
