You will find many people here going on and on about how this is one of the all-time great movies (it's high ranking on IMDB justifies that). I don't quite share the same opinion but I do think that in a time when summer movies are getting dumber and dumber, Minority Report is a welcome and after Scooby Doo, MIIB, Mr. Deeds, and yet another uninspired Star Wars sequel a very refreshing movie. It is the most suspenseful movie I have seen this year and only Road to Perdition is a better looking film. However, as hard as I tried, I still couldn't help getting confused (just a little) by the plot. But at least I thought about the plot afterwards which is more than I can say for most of these "event" movies. Cruise and Speilberg are in top form and Colin Farrell, who seemingly came out of nowhere, is fast becoming a BIG star. The best scene in any movie I've seen this year goes a little like this. Cruise is hiding from those robotic spiders (spiders that ID you by crawling up on you and scanning your eyes)that are searching for him. He does this by holding his breath in a tub of ice (with them being able to detect body heat and all). He holds his breath for what seems like an eternity before a small breath of air causes a bubble to slowly rise to the surface. Just that small bubble is enough to draw the attention of these "spiders", that come charging into the bathroom and surrounds an unsuspecting Cruise in the tub. See, I told you it was suspenseful! 8.5 out of 10
