How is “The Book of Eli”?

John Boot says that the ultra-violent “Book of Eli” is “a proudly Christian movie.” Did anyone see it last weekend? Is that correct? Is it worth seeing?

Cross I Am Legend with The Ten Commandments and you’ve got The Book of Eli, a genuinely religious parable that inherently rebukes pointless end-of-the-world movies like The Road. This time there’s a purpose to the post-apocalypse: Eli (Denzel Washington), one of humanity’s survivors, is heeding the word of the Lord to protect the world’s only remaining Bible and bring its teachings to the West.
