The Road (I) (2009)
Drags itself along the road
10 January 2010
I had such high hopes for this one, post apocalyptic stuff, great cast... But then there was a problem - the corner stones of the whole movie are suspense, feeling of constant danger, the horror of solitude, of grayness, lack of sun, food, clothes, joy and laughter so there will probably be nothing that brings a smile to your face.

The road reminds me of a special type of psycho thrillers, in which the director doesn't appear to watch the time, where a closeup of someones eyes can take up to two minutes, just for the sake of suspense. Does it work? Maybe sometimes it does, but here, what's too much is too much, and the movie is boring, no... not just boring, it drags, it's legs are broken and it drags them and itself along the road, inch after painful inch. The beginning is ugly, the middle is a pain and the ending is just not enough. It's simply no fun to watch.
