Children of Men

The most chillingly realistic post-apocalyptic urban adventure chase movie I've ever seen.

I also appreciate that they didn't linger on any of the especially violent shots- they were so short that at first you weren't even sure you'd just seen what you thought you saw. I felt that it was more powerful and respectful that way.

Absolutely. It had a very human-level feel about it, which I think made it all the more powerful than standard Hollywood action/violence crap (crescendoing music, slo-mo shots, etc.).

And was probably why it was completely overlooked by the Academy...
