Director: John Hillcoat Starring: Viggo "Lord of the Rings" Mortenson, Kodi McPHee, Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Guy "Memento" Pearce, etc.
Based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy, who also wrote "No Country For Old Men". In this film, a father and son warily roam a bleak future world in which an unspecified cataclysm has killed all edible animals and plants. All that are left are some desperately hungry people, a few dogs, some inedible grass and some dead and dying trees. While wandering, on the lookout for whatever food (canned goods, etc.) and shelter they can find, they must evade gun, knife and arrow-wielding gangs and thieves. While a very bleak and depressing atmosphere, this was very well made and worth seeing.
