The cinematography of this movie is extremely well made, and has some great takes, like the first expectacular fight scene where we only see their silhouettes, or when Carnegie opens the book for the first time, and we see how the lock works (Which remembered me of David Fincher's "Panic room"). But some unnecessary shots, like the first scene where the bow splits the dust (Which is there for no reason).

The Hughes Brothers's direction is very stylish and sometimes elegant, we can see that by noticing that they don't spent a lot of time explaining why the world is like that, that would take a lot of time and was not really necessary.

The acting is brilliant, which is almost superfluous considering that the main characters are played by Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman, but there was some surprises, like the short appearance of the old couple Martha and George, that although seem that they were there for nothing, it was good just to have funny scenes, like when someone asks Martha what they were going to do, and she answers "I know what the @$#% I'm doing!".

Although the movie has some great scenes where Eli is reading the book to Solara, it has some clichés, like when he says that what he learned from the book is that he should care abut others more than he cares for himself. It can be true, but he just could say another teaching, one that we haven't heard.
