    i think this was an attempt to redo the formula they had with mccarthy's last book to hit screen, no country for old men: take a popular book and just transcribe it to film as literally as possible. unfortunately the road isn't the same kind of book as no country for old men, and they totally missed a lot of the nuances, and literary beauty that was in the writing. the result is a very flattened out version of a really awesome book.
