The Road is one of those "could have been better"-type films. Various aspects, such as the acting, stand out as well-done and nothing about it is terrible, but at the end it does not feel like it was as good as it could have been. The problem is that the way it is filmed is too stark and bleak for a drama and there is lack of dramatic scoring. The result is that I, as a viewer, do not feel strongly for the main characters even though the acting is strong and the story is believable. But all-in-all, the Road is fine and fans of the post-apocalypse genre should enjoy it.
