Yes.Minority Report is an extremely well made film.It has dazzling special effects,and it has some great set pieces.Colin Farrell gives the best performance in the movie trying to create a two dimensional character with a genuine ability that doesn't exist elsewhere in the movie,except for the small role of Cruise's wife.It's not a movie that lends itself to good acting,so maybe Tom Cruise was well cast after all.In film after film,he seems to be the male contemporary of Elizabeth Taylor,great at emotional outbursts,but with no depth of ability to back them up.There's a complete lack of emotional warmth in his acting,and especially in this movie.I think that's why there appears to be no heart at the centre of Minority Report,just an icy shell.There is very little color in this movie;like Tom's wardrobe,it is almost a monochrome movie,that adds to the coldness at it's centre.A stunning,but very uninvolving experience.
