Christianity Today give this 'R' rated film 3/4 stars:
Some will consider the film B-movie trash. Others will say it's an action movie of above-average intelligence. Some will say there's too much filth to wade through to appreciate the presence of the Bible; others will note that despite the objectionable material, it's a Hollywood action movie that, remarkably, puts God's power on display and allows his Word to prevail.
And while there's a degree of reverence toward God's Word and general Christian practices, Christ himself isn't really referenced.
Still, we can share amazement that Hollywood has released a mainstream action movie about the Bible. If The Book of Eli succeeds in sparking public discussion about faith and the vitality of God's Word, that's cause for acclaim.
