One Man's Story

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2007)

A very realistic vision of the future, that is not as disconnected from the present as many other films portray the future to be. It paints a bleak picture, while maintaining connections to the current conditions of humanity and political climate.
The plight of the refugees in this movie can easily be viewed as a mirror image of the plight of many refugees in the world today.
Although it is a story about humanity the movie itself is a story of one man's journey (Clive Owen) to come to terms with his past, the bleak present that he is living in and to re-ignite his hope for the future that he once had in his younger days.
The film moved a bit faster at times then preferred which is why I didn't give it a 10, however the acting and cinematography was brilliant and the story was compelling.
