One of the best films of 2006

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2007)

This grim tale of the future was directed by Alfanso Cuaron who has directed the following excellent films.
Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN and HARRY POTTER & THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN,
Three entire different movies, This is a director whose films we will be watching for many years to come.
The film is an adaptation of a novel by PD James and it has been changed for cinematic reasons.
At the opening we learn that the last child was born 18 years ago.
subsequently we find a young lady 8 months pregnant.
Clive Owen is hired to transport this mother -to-be to a safe have.
The rest of film is a chase & hunt story. I cannot tell you more, as I will not spoil anyones enjoyment of anticipation.
Beware though, THIS IS A VIOLENT movie, & is too mature for young viewers.
Most of the cast are not very well known actors except for the following.
Julianne Moore has a small but vital role, even though she is second billed
Micheal Caine is nearly unrecognizable in his few to many scenes.
Clive Owen is the lead performer, He should become a major star soon as he is that impressionable.
ALL the acting is first rate. The entire production is stunning.
This tale of the future may be dark BUT IT IS NOT GRIM.Nearly all the characters are likable, & this fact sure helps in making you appreciate the craftsmanship of this excellent movie
Rating **** (out of 4) 99 points (out of 100)+ IMDb 10 (out of 10)
+ it is rare that I ever have given a movie 100 points.
