The Road- review

I just watched "the road" with Vigo Mortensen, and Charlize Theron. This movie is not acceptable for most people. It is a realistic view at a post appocolyptic society that, unlike most feel good movies, does not end happily. I must say that it is masterfully done, and as for me, I quite enjoyed it, but then I am not normal. In this movie, there is no hero, no one rides to the rescue. There are however, plenty of villians. Robert Duvall gives his typical great performance, although in a bit part, and Charlize Theron is totally beleivable in her role, albeit a little vague.
It takes a strong constitution to watch, and enjoy "the road", and the typical human will not. It brings to stark reality just what will happen if we as humans, and americans fail to save this society, indeed, "the road" is a wake up call.
