Clive Owen's understated performance in this overlooked 2006 film was to say the least noteworthy. Based on P.D. Jame's novel the title is taken from psalm 90(89):3 in The King James Bible. It is set in a world on the border of choas in 1992 England. At this time for reason not fully understood all are infertile. The people alive are the last generation on the planet. The film opens with the last peron born on record being killed in a barfight in South America. It moves on from there with a quick and coherent story line. The scene where Clive's character walks out during a pause in a firefight is spellbinding.
Take the time. It's worth it....

I recently rented & viewed this DVD on the recommendation of a friend. It is an artful and well acted creation, doing justice to the thought-provoking literature from which it springs. A worthy film, indeed.
