Unique, exciting, thought-provoking

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2007)

"Children of Men" is one of those movies that kept me thinking for days afterward. There are a number of truly amazing scenes from a directing point of view, I still can't figure out how exactly they filmed the "escape car" scene! There are also very moving scenes that had me welling up with tears, the guy down the row from me was openly crying during the "walking out of the building and through the soldiers" scene. The actors were all well cast, notably Clive Owen, Claire-Hope Ashitey, Michael Caine and Peter Mullan. When you go to a Saturday afternoon matinée in my town on a sunny, gorgeous day you don't expect to see a full theater, but that's what happened for "Children of Men". Believe the word of mouth, this is a really good movie.
