If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

God created Man, Col. Sam Colt made him equal, John Moses Browning turned equality to perfection, Gaston Glock turned perfection into plastic fantastic junk.

I've seen it and read the book.

The movie is worth checking out once. Kind of a mental masturbation and what would I do in this scenario. Not really any action like the Book of Eli but similar landscape. Very depressing tone and the kid is very ignorant to what I think a child in that world would really be like. Also alot of cannibalism, alot. It's long but I liked it. I could watch a couple more times in my life but I'm a big movie buff. If you're not, than maybe once will be enough. Great acting except for the boy really drove me crazy.  I was hoping that the dad would finally smack him upside the head for being too annoying.

The book was not well written but the story was good and had 2 "scenes" that made it darker than the movie. As far as the writing style here is an example:
"The boy said 'Where are we going father?
The man said ' We're going over there'
The boy said 'Okay'
The man and boy went over there "  :suicide:
"Blackouts are God's way of saying, 'Don't worry 'bout it".

  I didn't see the movie, but I did read the book.  It was a quick read.  I thought it sucked, and I don't understand how the author has received such acclaim.
