From IMDB: "Children of Men" envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction. Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, "Children of Men" follows an unlikely champion of Earth's survival: Theo (Owen), a disillusioned ex-activist turned bureaucrat, who is forced to face his own demons and protect the planet's last remaining hope.

Its shot almost exclusively in the UK, and the way they made London look is incredible, so much subtlety in the background. Owen is fantastic with some fine performances from Michael Caine and Juliette Lewis. For me its a must see!
