The Road, could you...If it came to it?

This DVD review is on The Road. This movie has by far been the most suspenseful and dramatic movie I have seen in quite a while. Long and drawn out, but dramatic, and I have never seen such a bond between two characters acted out so well. ...This movie reminds me of a jawbreaker, its hard to get through but its sweet the entire time. And if I may it was somewhat of a tear jerker, the fiancee cried a couple of times. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the holes in the story. I wanted to know how the world became a post apocalyptic wasteland. I wanted to know why the mother, whom was played by Charlize Theron, was such a bitch, and if I may a little gutless. But I really liked that it actually showed them scavenging for what food that was left, giving the well done illusion they were in this real situation, gradually fatiguing more and more as they starved. The plot is a father and son heading south down the eastern part of the United states going from New York, to Florida, because they would not survive another winter. While dodging wandering raiders and groups of cannibals, with every situation the father has to struggle with the horrible thought that he cannot fend them off. Then must decide if he should end his own sons life so he does not have to endure the horrors these men may bestow upon them. Some spots in the movie were quite heart wrenching from these situations. I will more then likely buy this movie. 3 out of 4.
