Children of Men

Thoughtful takedown of Children of Men from Keith Uhlich in Slant Magazine. I thought the first 45 minutes were brilliant. The last 30 or so minutes reminded me of the end of The Blues Brothers where they smash up all the police cars. Quiet menace is much more scary than a shoot-em-up. The movie has definite "narrative deficiencies."
