NOT SMART, NOT DEEP but entertaining.

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2002)

The whole premise of the film is that pre-crime is going to "go national" after an initial trial, and the whole tension between the characters is whether or not it is going to "go national". You don't have to bother examining all the incongruencies in the film when you realize that there are only THREE precogs, and they can hardly keep up with one city's "crimes of passion". As for the supposed mind bender of "would the killer really do it?" there's an old saying in law enforcement that goes something like this: if a person jumps off a building in a clear act of suicide -- and you pull out a gun to shoot her the second before she hits pavement -- you are guilty of murder.
