Is Children of Men any good??

It's a strong B -- interesting, very nicely executed in parts, but flawed.

Positives:
- Cinematography builds excitement
- Michael Caine's performance (though some of his lines are garbled and difficult to parse)

Negatives:
- Clive Owen is hardly a favorite actor of mine. He's been deflating the fun out of movies since I saw him in Croupier. I didn't like him in Closer. I didn't like him in Derailed. I don't really like him in general.

Overall: Pretty good effort. I don't feel bad that the movie was passed over w/ regards to Oscar nominations.
