Post apocalyptic tale based on the bestselling novel by Cormac McCarthy (No Country For Old Men). A father and son travel on foot through a devastated American landscape battling both starvation and cannibals.
This is not a film you want to watch for a few laughs and light hearted enterainment. The subject matter of the film involves unrelenting misery in the wake of the apocolypse, which has turned many of the remaining humans on earth to canibalism. Despite the depressing subject matter, it is compelling viewing as you watch the daily struggle of father and son to survive. There are heart stopping scenes and also heart warming ones as you see the love that they have for each other. I really enjoyed the film but will need to prepare myself to feel quite sad if I watch it again as I did have a good blub at the end of this one.

Director John Hillcoat's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. In the burnt-out wasteland of a post-apocalyptic America, a man (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) try to survive by any means possible as they follow a desolate, corpse-strewn road towards the coast, where they hope to find some kind of a future for themselves. Travelling with only the clothes they are wearing, a small cart of scavenged food and a pistol with two bullets as protection, they struggle to survive in the ravaged landscape, encountering a few other desperate survivors along the way.
