Although the film, The Road, doesn’t hit theaters until October 16th, that doesn’t stop people from talking about it. Esquire Magazine has written the first review for the movie they seem to really like the film. In fact, they say it is “the most important film of the year.” That’s quite the statement!
The film is directed by John Hillcoat, and stars Viggo Mortensen, Rober Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, and Kodi Smit McPhee and is based off of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road. The story is about a man (Mortensen) and his son (Smit McPhee) as they travel through a post-apocalyptic America. The setting is very dark, and covered in ash. The two are attempting to make it to the coast, yet they don’t know what awaits them there.
