For the last six months or so we have been subscribed to the Tesco DVD rental service and this week we got Children Of Men. I had never heard of it before, my Girlfriend put it on the list a while back and its a film I knew nothing about.To start of with, i ask my girlfriend “who’s in it?” she replies, errr I think its Tom Hanks…. So all the way through the film I was thinking, so when’s Tom Hanks coming into this??? Turns out she had glanced the picture on the DVD as she put it in the machine and thought it was Tom Hanks Turns out it was actually Clive Owen

Children Of Men is A Bloody Fantastic film, within five mins I was loving it. Its set in and around London in 2027 in a time when every woman in the world have mysteriously become in-fertile and the youngest person in the whole world is 18. It is filmed using really long takes and this really ads to the realism. Its a Gritty and in places Brutal film, with a vision of the future that is very believable and Chaotic. Staring Clive Owen, Michael Caine & Julianne Moore, Children Of Men is a film I absolutely loved, its great when you watch a film you know nothing about and it turns out to be fantastic! Definitely two thumbs fresh
