Review of Children of Men (2006) by Ray Bennett for The Hollywood Reporter — 15 Feb 2013
Owen carries the film more in the tradition of a Jimmy Stewart or Henry Fonda than a Clint Eastwood or Harrison Ford. He has to wear flip-flops for part of the time without losing his dignity, and he never reaches for a weapon or guns anyone down.
Cuaron and Owen may have created the first believable 21st-century movie hero.
