A masterpiece. A dark, edgy, riveting and breathtaking adventure. An utterly absorbing, compelling and fascinating vision. It's explosive, vastly gripping, exciting, and exhilarating. An astonishing and important film that must be seen. It captures the darkness of a world gone ma...( read more)
In it's depiction of a living nightmare, The Road is a bleak drudging of steps masquerading as a journey with hope. The film is dank, depressing, and gives no real light to justice and optimism. It's execution of this reality is flawless.

I tryed to read this book and FAILED lol. I just couldnt get through it....This movie follows it very closely though. In my oppinion Viggo Mortensen is one of Hollywoods greatest male leads and I think he should work alot more than he does...then on the other hand, he is very go...( read more)

Una de las mejores películas que he visto sobre la visión pos apocaliptica del mundo.Un meteoro, cometa o volcan han caido o hecho erupsión y la tierra se encuentra sumida en una nube de gas permanente donde la luz del sol no llega lo suficiente para alimentar la vida de las plan...( read more)
A good adaptation from the Cormac McCarthy book.Very climatic and terrifying apocaliptical vision of the future, where the human race is in a depreciation of morals and adept of cannibalism.Beautiful fotography and music by Nick Cave, but the movie is a little depressing, i have ...( read more)
The Road is a surprisingly solid adaptation. Oddly enough, its biggest fault is that it plays it too safe and too by-the-book for its own good. Safe performances. Safe script. Nothing about the film really ever pops or completely wows. What's cinema without risks eh?...a fairly a...( read more)
It hits a few tinny, sentimental notes. Still, I admire the craft and conviction of this film, and I was impressed enough by the look and the performances to recommend that you see it. full review
In this haunting portrait of America as no country for old men or young, Hillcoat -- through the artistry of Mortensen and Smit-McPhee -- carries the fire of our shared humanity and lets it burn brigh... full review
Great junk like Resident Evil and passable schlock like 28 Weeks Later have more skill and integrity. Why would anyone want to make -- or watch -- this Hillcoat/McCarthy desolation except to feel fash... full review
The most arresting aspect of The Road is just how fully the filmmakers have realized this bleak, blighted landscape of a modern society reduced to savagery. full review
My, but it's been a fine year for Armageddon. full review
While the film is not as resonant as the novel, it is an honorable adaptation, capturing the essence of the bond between father and son. full review
Evocative as it is, The Road comes up short, not because it's bleak but because it's monotonous, and because McCarthy's vision is finally as inflexible as his patriarchal hero's. full review
The Road evokes the images and the characters of Cormac McCarthy's novel. It is powerful, but for me lacks the same core of emotional feeling. I'm not sure this is any fault of the filmmakers. full review
great movie, Viggo mortenson always the consumate professional but that bloody kid did my nut in. I mean what a fu.kin sook. If that had been my kid and I was in danger of being cannabalised if caught then I would have talked some sense into him and made him relaise the consequences of bein eatin alive. Oh well, the Director ob did a good job if the kid got under my skin kike that lol overall i give it a 8.5/10
