Clive Owen was the man who saved this film

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2007)

I found CHILDREN OF MEN at a cheap price and I was warned reading the critics before I bought the DVD. I have to admit that the story hits a serious problem of nowadays but I am disappointed for several reasons. First, the camera-work was too shaky and bad. Second, the cinematography was very cheap and I cannot understand how it could won some prizes at the film festivals or why so many nominations. Third, the script was not developed enough to create a tension packed action thriller. There were enough other candidates to earn some attention. I was impressed therefore by another good performance from Clive Owen. I found him also very good in DERAILED. CHILDREN OF MEN is not a must see. Final verdict: 4/10.
