Children of Men

I expect Englishmen to come with some refinement.. authority... I expect them to be, if not James Bond, at least Colin Firth.

 

Instead we have Clive Owen, a huge ungainly motherflocker with not an ounce of refinement in him, playing amazingly cocksure roles that I find him decidedly unsuited for. In Closer I was just thinking 'ahuh, sure' the whole time. In Sin City I felt like ramming his dopey head into a wall. How Frank Miller (who I assume had a lot to do with the production but am not sure about) let such an insipid portrayal of a character he created onto the screen is beyond me.

 

*Ahem*. I dunno I just get a bad vibe from the guy. If I ever run into him on the street I'd hit him. With relation to Children of Men, I cant imagine he does the performance there any justice either. Granted Theo isnt a 'big man' in the novel, but I'm hearing the film is a lot different? Either way I can't see a Hollywood film with a lead as ass as Owen. The thought of it makes me want to weep.
