A disgrace to the author's vision

Rating: 2/10 (14 July 2007)

I read the book several years before Children of Men came to screen and was haunted by the tale that P.D James unraveled. When I heard there was to be made I looked forward to see how it was portrayed. This film was one of the greatest disappointments of books turned into film. The major plot points were completely disregarded and the story torn to pieces. Even looking at the film from a non-biased point of view, the story got lost in ridiculous gun battles and was not pieced well together. It lacked flow that makes a film watchable. I've told everyone I know that this film will disappoint them and those that did eventually see it hated it as well.
