In the dystopic near-future, illegal immigrants are kept in cages in plain sight and everyone is subject to police brutality. Every woman on Earth has been infertile for nearly 20 years. When a young pregnant woman, and immigrant, is discovered, it's up to an unsuspecting Clive Owen to get her out of the country. Their harrowing trek through a bleak urban landscape in the midst of guerrilla warfare is a highlight, but it does at times feel like a video game. Character motivations are muddy at best.
