Plot Summary:
|
A father and his son tiptoe alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape preclude the ash on the wind and water. It is cold-hearted enough to slit stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They possess nothing: just a pistol to stick up for themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the German Autobahn, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping transport of scavenged nourishment--and each other.

If you're going to adapt a book Cormac McCarthy's 2006 bestseller, you're pretty much obliged to put together a terrific film or it's not benefit doing -- fundamental because expectations are high, and second, because the picture needs to as though it worth people's while to take no action during something so grim. Except for the physical aspects of this bare odyssey by a dad and son result of a post-apocalyptic landscape, this long-delayed production falls dispiritingly curtail on every foremost. Showing clear signs of being probe-screened and futzed with to destruction, the Dimension release may take into one's possession a up of respect in some quarters but is very, absolutely far from the film it should have been, spelling dimi...
