Children of men - film review

I went to see this film without really planning to do so and I'm really glad that I did. It was great.

It's set in the near future in a fascist Britain. The world is in ruins and the last human was born 18 years ago. The population is aging and the world is dying.

The main character leads an empty life until he is kidnapped by a terrorist group led by an ex-girlfriend. She wants a favour.....

The film is grim and gritty and emotional. Something about it really worked for me. The last 20 minutes are great.


Michael Caine is in it and he gets some more classic lines (his tombstone should read 'pull my finger')

ch-ch-ch check it out
