Clive Owen delivers, 'Children of Men' follows suit

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2008)

A post-apocalyptic vision of Earth where human infertility is the cause of massive chaos and anarchy. Clive Owen is joined by a duo of Oscar winners in Michael Caine and Julianne Moore, however don't expect to see too much of Moore. This movie had me locked in and focused the entire time. It packs a lot more action than you think and the plot is easy to follow yet very complex. Owen plays a character thrown into a plan to save mankind by helping the first pregnant woman on Earth in 18 years. Excellent directing, stunning cinematography, and fantastic acting make this movie one of the best I have ever seen. The only reason I give it an 8 out of 10 is that the film is at times depressing, and even in its brightest moment is accompanied with sadness.
