His principal threat is despotic town leader Carnegie (Oldman), who will stop at nothing to get hold of the book and use its secrets to take control of society. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Actors | Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Michael Gambon, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson | | Asin | B003A8FESM | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Country Of Origin | Austria | | Director | Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer Reference | 5017239196430 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number Of Discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 18 x 8 x 8 cm; 91 g | | Release Date | 31 May 2010 | | Run Time | 113 minutes | | Studio | Entertainment in Video | ## Product Details - **Genre:** action_&_adventure - **Format:** PAL - **Contributor:** Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes, Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Michael Gambon, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson - **Initial release date:** 2010-05-31T00:00:01Z - **Language:** English ## Images ![The Book of Eli - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DUCRvWGNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic film with an uplifting message *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 23 June 2022* I'd like to remind the haters that the Bible is what built the western world as we know it, and every other book—even the Lord of the Rings, as another commenter suggests, as much of a titan of literature and a personal favourite of mine Tolkien might be—would be very much insignificant by comparison."The Book of Eli" presents a story about true faith, demonstrated by our protagonist, placed against those seeking to abuse faith for their own selfish means, as seen in the antagonist. Gary Oldman in particular is fantastic in his role as the evil "mayor" of his miserable town, initially appearing almost convincingly like a regular man who is trying to improve things for his people*. That façade quickly falls away to reveal the gnarly truth underneath. As is said in Corinthians, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." Evil often pretends it's good. (* Assuming, of course, that him reading Mussolini wasn't supposed to paint a big "I'm bad" sign on his forehead.)Denzel is also great as the tortured wanderer devoted to a higher cause, and seems a perfect fit for his role. Mila Kunis, who acts as a supporting deuteragonist, does fine with what she's given, though I'd say she seems a little too clean (literally) for this post-apocalyptic environment where all water comes at a premium. But that might just be a nitpick on my part.It has to be noted that the film features a number of surprisingly gruesome action scenes that are well shot and choreographed, the first one being almost stylised in execution, with Eli fighting a bunch of guys in the darkness under a bridge.The premise itself does require some suspension of disbelief: after "the war", all Bibles were destroyed, and Eli is the custodian of the presumably-last copy in existence. I find that hard to imagine, given that the Bible is the world's most read book. But that's okay. As for how Eli survived all his trials and tribulations... well, as Jesus said, "all things are possible to him who believes". :)Indeed, I'd posit the plot of the film is best considered metaphorically. It's about the power of faith to stand in the face of evil and triumph, even if the odds are insurmountable and all has fallen into ruin beside you. It's about rising above the evil around you, and your own self, to do something good.That said, "The Book of Eli" is not some sort of masterpiece, or some profound philosophical treatise; it's a post-apocalyptic action film with edgy violence but a slightly deeper meaning. That's all. That doesn't stop it from being very entertaining and worth a watch (and a thought).P.S.: Christ is King. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its a dvd not much else to say other than shopping for it was easy *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 May 2026* Good film Recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forget The Road watch this instead *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 June 2010* This is a great post-apocalypse movie with many of the hall marks of the genre, a devastated/blasted environment, desperate individuals struggling to survive, roving bands of predators, people surviving in the wastes by cannibalism. Its more similar to The Postman [DVD] [1998] thanMad Max Trilogy: Mad Max, Mad Max 2 and Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome [DVD] [1979], except perhaps the final Mad Max film, but one of the best examples of the genre on screen I can imagine.However it remains hopeful in its conclusion, there is also some attempts to create moral complexity in its characterisation of key individuals. For instance, the villain is essentially a benign dictator who has created some order out of post-apocalyptic chaos but has become an obsessive, even maniacal. On the other hand the hero does not always behave in typically heroic ways, he doesnt always intervene to save or protect the weak, he also gets carried away in battle, not ceasing violence until called to stop.Some comment has, unfortunately, been made about pseudo-spiritual overtones in the film, there arent that many, it really depends on what frame of mind you are watching it in, unfortunately a lot of angry atheism solicits reactions which wouldnt have been likely as little as ten, maybe twenty years ago. Its funny because some of the references to faith and religion in the movie are vague, almost like pop cultural references, unlikely to please anyone with evangelical aims who's critical of a secularised Christianity.Contained in the extras on the DVD are two sets of interviews with cast and crew and concept designer which elaborate on this point and indicate the point is about knowledge, its use and abuse, its more about bibliophiles and book lovers and even the role of books in restarting a civilisation after collapse.In this sense I was reminded of the conclusion of the classic The Time Machine [DVD] [1960] in which the time traveller finally departs to the post-apocalyptic future with four books to restart civilisation and the question is posed to the viewer which would they take.The action is great, as much sword fighting as gun fighting, with scenes very reminiscent of some from Kill Bill Vol.1/Kill Bill Vol.2 [Blu-ray] [2003], particularly some out take extras on the DVD featuring a fight sequence in which Bill engages in some sword fighting.Extras include a commentary, out takes and deleted scenes, two sets of interviews, one about post-apocalypse as a genre pretty much, the other about the moral complexities of the film and finally the soundtrack list. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/50042075-the-book-of-eli](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/50042075-the-book-of-eli) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
