Om denne film

Academy Award® nominee Viggo Mortensen leads an all star cast including Guy Pearce, Academy Award® winners Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron and an incredible debut performance from Kodi Smit-McPhee. THE ROAD is a thrilling and deeply moving tale of survival as a father and his young son journey across a barren, post apocalyptic America. Respectfully adapted from Cormac McCarthy’s hallowed novel, THE ROAD boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of – a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love.

It's grim, dark, heart-breaking and bereft of hope. But thanks to some amazing performances it's absolutely captivating to follow the plight of a father trying his best to care for his son in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. More effective than most horror films (due to the fact that the main characters are ones you can actually care about).

This movie is brutal, dark and depressing. But that's the whole point and it was entertaining on the edge of your seat stuff. Some scenes I was nauseated and felt very uncomfortable I won't spoil just involves humans in a basement. Don't expect a feel good movie it's all suspenseful and nail biting stuff not to mention depressing.

Quite possibly the grimmest movie I've ever seen, it goes to some very dark places at times. Beware! But, you'll definitely want to know what happens to the characters and this is where the movie gets you. Grim but very captivating and devastatingly believable.
