After 6 months on the shelf the interest in it will taper off and hurt more than help. Heck I am still pissed I can't see Outlander. Lol, good one Rob.

That may be because it really didn't make a good book. McCarthy paints fantastically vivid images of this bleak wasteland, but then does nothing with it. The whole book was a series of teases... walk, encounter a potentially dangerous situation, avoid it all together... rinse, repeat. I wasn't looking for The Road Warrior here, but some action or genuine suspense would have been nice. The ending was fairly predictable from early on as well, especially the fate of one of the two main characters. I get it, the father really loves his son, and he shows it by what he's prepared to do as they traipse across the US. Awesome. If he really loved the little shit he would have called him by name once in a while. But I really enjoyed Hillcoat's The Proposition, so I'm in!

They've released a lot of shitty films, and the few movies that have been good have all underperformed. I'm convinced this film will fall in the latter category.
