The Road






Directed By: John Hillcoat

A chilling tale showing the relationship between father & son, as they try to head south, to flee from the cold, in this post apocalyptic nightmare of a film, where ash falls from the sky and the people are worse.

Plot: Father & son head south to escape the cold, dark days, while battling the harsh conditions of rain & ash.  Along they way they will have to battle their hunger, while defending themselves from the hunger of other people.  It isn't so much the plot that drives this movie, rather the adventure that will keep readers glued to their seats.

Review:  A movie that truly explores the human condition, compelling to the very last minute.  The anxiety is experienced by the characters & movie viewers alike, which will compel the audience to not stop watching until both Papa & his child are safe.
