The Road is the next of Cormac McCarthy's novels that are getting the big screen treatment after the Coen bros. virtually destroyed any chance at anyone making a more awesome movie than No Country for Old Men, but that's not stopping the bald as hell John Hillcoat from taking a stab at it. And by the looks of things he may have just put together a piece to stand tall next to the Coen's masterpiece.
Viggo Mortensen rarely if ever disappoints so his involvement already means that there's going to be a bottom to how bad this movie can actually be, and even if The Road hit that bottom, it would still be pretty good. Skilled actress who's made some questionable choices Charlize Theron co-stars adding to the short list of talent. Short because there's not many actors in this post-apocalyptic adventure, not because I think the other actors are shit.
The movie defines gritty as Viggo and his family generally look like they haven't showered in decades and the setting is nothing but destroyed towns and cities, forests of leafless trees, and dirty skulls on sticks. The Road is my number 3 most anticipated list.
