‘The Road’ (2009)

After an unspecified cataclysm has wiped out most of humanity on a slowly dying planet, a man and his young son must travel a dangerous road south to the coast, while avoiding dangerous scavengers and cannibals in this dark and gritty dystopian drama adapted from the bestselling Cormac McCarthy novel.

Viggo Mortensen delivers a strong performance alongside a tremendous one by young actor Kodi Smit-McPhee in what is perhaps the darkest and most depressing but most powerful post-apocalyptic drama ever, not to mention probably the most accurate depiction of what a decimated world may be like.

Aside from the gritty suspense and stark but stunning visuals, ‘The Road’ is most effective as an ultimately tragic father-and-son relationship drama, slow but deliberate, depressing but unforgettable and must see for any real cinephile.

Directed by John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Robert Duvall.

Genre: Drama
