Quite the Christian movie for Damn Liberal Hollywood, but not overbearing. Actually fairly well-done, with sufficiently-drawn characters, and a satisfying story. It was kind of fun/funny watching Mila Kunis become an action hero - she pulled that off with varying amounts of success, but it was nice that her character got the chance to do major damage. Denzel Washington clearly playing himself as he sees himself. A more upbeat version of The Road. More religious than Christian anyway. There were actually parts of this - tender quotes here and there, coupled with the apolitical bleakness of the surroundings - that might have converted me if I were, say, a teenager listening to Flyleaf trying to reconcile my interest in zombie apocalypses with my religious upbringing. Now I do listen to Flyleaf, but that's beside the point.
Awesome score, regardless.
