The film stars Clive Owen as a gunfighter carrying a newborn baby through hails of gunfire for the entire film. Though he could have cheated by using a doll for most shots, Davis actually found a way to incorporate real infants. Back to Article

on Jun 27 2007 01:20 PM Sounds like a original concept. Looking forward to it. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 27 2007 01:28 PM What is this? The sequel to Children of Men? Also, insert dead baby joke here... (Reply to this) |

on Jun 27 2007 01:29 PM The concept is not original it has been done in Lone Wolf and Cub but this movie may do it completely different, or not. We'll see. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 27 2007 02:32 PM Sometimes there's a reason concepts haven't been done before...because they're stupid. Someone smart and fast enough to survive 2 hours worth of gunfights while toting a baby isn't smart and inventive enough to find a babysitter? My friend please. Let's hope this is one of those movies that can transcend a flawed concept. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 27 2007 03:43 PM Children of men was awsome!!!! But does this one mean a lot of bleeting and whailing all through this movie? I hope not, babies in films should be banned! 2hours of crying and shooting. Meh! (Reply to this) |

on Jun 28 2007 06:18 AM Clive Owens cool, but any movie with Monica Bellucci I'm gonna go see (Reply to this) |
on Jun 28 2007 07:52 AM This was already done in John Woo's "Hard Boiled." (Reply to this) |

on Jun 28 2007 08:39 AM this seems kinda lame to me. why the crap is he doing this??!! they could kinda make it like "SPEED" with a baby. the baby's got a bomb inside it and if he sets it down, the baby blows up. and of course you've got the dudes from "Children of Men" chasing him. at the end he hooks up with jennifer aniston from "Derailed" and they raise this DEAF child as their own.

on Jun 28 2007 09:33 AM This is a over the top film, watch the trailer on IGN. I've been excited about this movie for over a year. It should be very fun. (Reply to this) |
