It's pretty good and I think reasonably faithful to the book though I haven't
read it yet. It's definitely worth checking out if you are able to deal with a
movie that dwells pretty much exclusively in the realm of bleak and hopeless.
It helped me reaffirm that there are some things I just don't want to survive.
If the choice is hopeless endless struggle or a lead snack in the roof of the
mouth, please pass the ammunition.

I'm sure The Road was discussed when it came out, but I just got around to
seeing it on PPV this weekend. Maybe the most dark and depressing movie
I've ever seen (or in the top 5 anyway). Yet the last few
minutes offered a little redeeming hope in a way that was totally unexpected to
me. I thought it was well done and worth checking out if you don't mind
feeling awful for a little while. Some how, more than Survivors, Book of
Eli, The Day After or even Threads, The Road left me sunk in the sofa saying,
"God, would it ever really come to that?"
