Children of Men Does Not Disappoint

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2007)

Powerful, gripping, intense, moving; all of these words describe "Children of Men." I was extremely excited for this movie when I saw the preview, so I decided to read the book before the movie came out. I read the book, and really enjoyed it. This movie was better than the book. So rarely do I say that, but "Children of Men" is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. The director creates an atmosphere that pulls you in and never lets you out. This beautifully crafted atmosphere sets a stage for some spectacular performances by Michael Caine and Clive Owen. All of the acting is great in this movie, but Caine and Owen steal the show. Do yourself a favor, and see this movie. It's one of the year's best.
