A good, solid action movie about he end of the world where a cure for cancer turns the population into a bunch of sunlight hating vampires.
Enter Robert Neville (played by Will Smith), a doctor working on a cure, all alone in Manhattan, hunting vampires by day, holed up in his house by night.
It successfully gives you a sense of loneliness and what it does to you, and idea what a completely lonely man does with his time and has some really cool action scenes.
In the end, a little too Hollywood for me though.

I summarise as:
Book Brilliant!
Film Crap!
I saw the film first and offered up my review before I read the book.
If I'd seen them in reverse, I would have been far harsher on the film than I was first time around, since I enjoyed it enough.
I decided not to go back and change my review though.
If I were to write it now, I would say "good by itself, but compared to the book, a light weight, poor representation of a shadow of the book."
