Premise: A lone hero must fight his way across the wasteland of post-apocalyptic America to protect a sacred book that holds the key to saving the future of humanity.
Quite a amazing trailer, love desolate flicks like this.
Looks a lot like another Road movie. Only mystical. Pretty cool, maybe. Haven't seen the Hughes Bros. in a while.

I like it.
The cropped hair and extra skinniness makes him look like Barack in ass-kicking mode.
This is an interesting piece of cinema. A action flick about faith and hope in a desolate and desperate world. When I think western you wouldn't necessarily think this film but this is exactly what it is. Denzel is solid as always and makes you root for him as a character. He certainly has a real humanity to him that he hast shown since training day.
The score is well worth looking into as well. It was made by Atticus Ross who y'all know made the "The Social Network" score with Trent Reznor.
