#142: Children of Men: A Must-watch

I must say, 2007 has been a year where I've watched some of the best movies ever. There was Stranger Than Fiction, an absolutely fantastic show about writing. Transformers, for the hard core action fan, and of course, Wild Hogs, the ultimate 'laugh-till-your-pee-comes-out' comedy. And yesterday, Children of Men got added to my favorite movies list.

"The year is 2027, and women can no longer give birth. The youngest inhabitant of the planet has just died at the age of 18, and all hope for humanity has been lost. As civilization descends into chaos, a dying world finds one last chance for survival in the form of a woman who has become inexplicably pregnant. Now, as warring nationalistic sects clash and British leaders try to maintain their totalitarian stronghold on the country, a disillusioned bureaucrat is brought back into the fold of activism by his guerrilla ex-wife. Reluctantly, he takes on the daunting task of escorting Kee, the refugee who represents humankind's last hope for survival, out of harm's way and into the care of a mysterious organization known as The Human Project."

It contains all the ingredients of a Cedric-likes-to-watch show: A twisted, scary storyline,
Clive Owen, (one of my favorite actors, from The Inside Man, another of my favorite movies) a hero who runs around without holding a weapon, and a weird ending with a thousand and one possibilities. Thumbs up!
