4/5
This movie was fabulous, bleak but hopeful at the end. I love foreign films, the good ones usually don't spell everything out for you. Hollywood has lost all it's magic in this respect. Even the award winners like Babel and Crash (not the Kronenberg Crash, I liked that one), they really aren't that good. The are always too sentimental or over acted.
In Children of Men Clive Owen is perfect for the reluctant hero in an apocalypse type story. Alcoholic, disillusioned and broke he's recruited by a terrorist/activist group. Of course, all hell breaks loose and he is caught in the crossfire. It's quite the adventure and it held me from the first minute until the very end. The cinematography is amazing, the acting is top notch.
