My pick for best of decade.

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2008)

This is a truly stunning, groundbreaking, masterful piece of film. They'll be talking about this one 50 years from now, analyzing it in film school for its radical yet ultra-effective direction. Director Alfonso Cuaron has created a masterpiece.
Clive Owen rises to new heights as the bedraggled protagonist. Chiwetel Ejiofor stands out as the sinister rebel leader - this film established him as one of my favorites. And check out Michael Caine playing a hippie with such aplomb, it's one of his best performances ever!
You could say Blade Runner was the Children Of Men of the '80s or Apocalypse Now was the Children Of Men of the '70s. It's that deep, it's that solid, it's that freaky, it's that bleak. All the while, it's one of the more compelling tales of personal redemption I've ever seen. And the events that unfold (in the world as portrayed) are beyond biblical in their gravity. What a yarn...
If anything else this decade tops this, I can't wait to see it!
