The Road
In a moment, the world changed forever.
Overview
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones and, when the snow falls, it is gray. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.

Viggo Mortensen and Smit-McPhee deliver great performances but it doesn't really hook you up.

The clocks stopped at 1:17 The Road is directed by John Hillcoat (The Proposition) and written by Joe Penhall (Enduring Love). Based on the 2006 novel of the same name by American author Cormac McCarthy (No Country For Old Men), the film stars Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee as a father and his son trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. How do you sell such a sombre piece to the film loving public? I'm not sure I personally can, such is the whirly like emotions dominating my t…

_**Grey, maudlin post-apocalyptic drama with some horrific thrills**_ After a mass extinction event, a man & his son (Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee) walk from western Pennsylvania to the Southeast coast trying to survive a life-or-death situation in a world without laws as people prey on each other. Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce and Molly Parker show up for small parts. Based on Cormac McCarthy’s final novel, "The Road" (2009) is similar to “Carriers,” released almost t…

**The Road paints a grim and genuine picture of the dangers and greed of a world surviving the collapse of society and hope.** The Road is a realistic and super depressing depiction of a post-apocalyptic world. Viggo Mortensen’s portrayal of an unyielding father doing whatever he can to keep his son alive and prepare him for survival is gripping and powerful. This movie made me want to hold my kids close, hug them tight, and thank the Lord we don’t live in that situation. Because of the gritt…

Yikes, but this is bleak! Many years after some disaster has struck down American civilisation, we meet a man (Viggo Mortensen) and his curious young son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who are trying to make it from the wooded hinterland to the coast in the hope that things might be better, and hopefully warmer, there. At least the ocean ought to add a bit of blue to their remarkably dull surroundings. They do have guns, but only two bullets which he is saving for emergencies should they encounter any of th…
