CHILDREN OF MEN Review

A hopeless man in a hopeless world. Relative apathy to all the destruction and suffering around and in him. But then, ghosts of a former life come back and invite him to rejoin the living. An opportunity. A cause. The cause. A sleepwalking life awoke. Against the One Musketeer world surrounding, he's challenging himself for others again. Risking life and limb against a resistance, the cops, the government, the world. They hide the miracle as long as they can...until nature's time window is up. Nowhere to run, surrounded by metal and barked orders from both sides, a sound is heard. A noise un-sounded for over 18 years. A world devoid of wails, gripped fingers, and the pitter-patter of feet. It halts the mayhem around them. Adrenaline canceled halfway to its goal, transfigured to awe. Lines of combatted men and women standing at attention. To see the door of light.

...and where will The Man go? Will he succeed? Will former demons block him? Will he join the land of the living Tomorrow?...

And then, through the silence, a distant rocket blasts down on the soldiers below.
