Children of Men

Alfonso Cuaron directs this Oscar-nominated film version of P.D. James's classic dystopian novel, a futuristic drama set in a world in which humans have lost the ability to reproduce and subsequently face certain extinction. Things change when a single woman mysteriously becomes pregnant, prompting a conflicted government bureaucrat (Clive Owen) and his ex-wife (Julianne Moore) to join forces to protect her. Michael Caine co-stars.

The concept, the acting and everything in between is just great. At times the movie gets "fall asleep in a theater" boring but, if you stick it out, it's great and worth it.
Very strong movie, violent and powerful throughout, holds no punches but still poetic, not overbearing. Wonderful work on the long cover-to-cover scene.
