Re: Children of Men
I saw this on the weekend and I have to say it's definitely my #1 movie for 2006 unless something comes later to bump it off (The Fountain, perhaps).

Some of the action and suspense scenes were just mind-blowing, most of them done (or appearing to have been done) in just one take. I've got to give particular mention to the roadside attack, and the way the camera swirls around inside the vehicle (rather than cutting) to show the different perspectives of its passengers whilst absolute chaos goes on outside.

Great soundtrack, too. Michael Caine's character has some good taste.
