A Chaotic World Portrayed Beautifully

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

A poignant masterpiece on a world gone mad with globalization who's timing could not have been better. This film hooked me from the start and kept me enthralled until the end. It left me wanting more. Great loose adaptation of the P D James novel. Clive Owen was amazingly brilliant and along with stellar performances by the supporting cast, this film takes the viewer along for a meaningful look at what our world could easily become. From script, acting, directing, location, and cinematography, this film will not leave you bored, but leave you wanting to know more about the future of mankind. Michael Caine captures the essence of "an old hippie" with such heart, he's easily the most lovable character of this film. I highly recommend this film for anyone who enjoys intrigue, action combined with heart and humanity. The DVD version contains some terrific philosophical content on world globalization which is enlightening and frightening.
