Children of Men

I watched Children of Men mainly (just) because I had heard from Wikipedia that it was filmed partly in Woolwich.

For the first twenty minutes or so it was a bit of a struggle but after that it started getting very good.

This is a film set in the near future,18 years since the last woman to carry a baby to term.

I loved some of the action set-pieces which were made to look like they were filmed in one shot, from a single camera.  However, I have since read that it is mainly a camera trick and edited footage.  However, it is still very impressive.
