A superb action film.

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2011)

Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men is not only one of the better action thrillers of 2006, but one of the best films of the year. The futuristic atmosphere is so intelligently created by Cuaron and without heavy use of special effects. The action scenes are especially realistic and well-made without campy choreography. It's a thought provoking film about a future gone wrong. This is very memorable because it analyzes the plot more than the violence and has little action cliché. It will leave you breathless by the time it finishes. Compelling performances only add to the overall experience, which is far better than average action films. This look at a bleak future is one of the better of its time and genre.
