The beginning of Alfonso Cuaron’s great film, Children of Men (2006), is like a cinematic wake up call, slapping us right in the face to gain our attention. We see a man in a coffee shop ordering a drink. A group of people huddle together, tensely watching a televised news broadcast. This is a world that has fallen into chaos, but while everyone clamors to see what is happening to their society, this man simply shrugs it off, grabs his drink, and starts heading out of the shop.

Salt – A Review
