Quote to Note: All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke.
Review: It's hard to describe just how bleak this film is. It's not filmed in black and white, but it is grey. Everything is grey. If you've played Fallout 3 you kind of have a feel for what this movie looks like and how the characters the world is populated with act. The difference between this movie and Fallout 3 is the movie isn't funny. Not even a little bit. Cannibalism, and the complete and utter loss of humanity is what you can expect from people when the world ends. Amidst the amputees, cannibals, ghouls, and vomit there is a silver lining for the ladies. Man-ass, and a lot of it. Viggo is not afraid to turn the other "cheek". Anyway, if it wasn't obvious, this movie is not for everyone but it is stunning and unforgettable. The best way to sum it up is, when heaven turns to ash we'll be left with The Road.
