The Road (2009)
Based on the novel of
the same name this film from director John Hillcoat stars Viggo
Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Charlize Theron. In a post
apocalyptic world a man and his son travel across North America
heading south.
What this film does
best is capture a great tone of sadness, haunting desperation and
slow death of the world as well as the characters with in it. The
plot focuses fully on the relationship between the father and son
over trying to explain the world they exist in and this works really
well but maybe leaves the film without a little depth. There are some
good performances from the main cast as well as those actors that
only have small roles such as Robert Duvall.
5/5
