Spielberg directs this sci-fi action adventure that totally kicks butt.

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2005)

Starring: Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell Honestly, I don't think I can remember the last time I watched a Steven Spielberg movie that I didn't like. And I think that Minority Report is probably my favorite Spielberg. Really, I think that Signs and Minority Report were the two best movies to come out in the year of 2002. It's a great sci-fi action flick with really cool special effects and great acting.
John Anderton (Cruise) is a pre-crime cop. What exactly is pre-crime? Well, in the future, they have developed a way to track murders and find murderers before they do the deed. Detective Anderton is one of the guys that brings in the murderers before anything happens.
One of the most interesting points I think that this movie raises is the notion of predestination. How can we know something was going to happen if we stop it? Are we really in control of our lives, or is everything decided ahead of time? Interesting.
But after Anderton starts investigating one of the first pre-crime cases about a woman named Anne Lively being drowned, things start happening. The next pre-crime case that pops up, the murderer happens to be John Anderton himself. In less than forty eight hours, he is supposed to kill a man that he has never met.
As the story unfolds, twists and turns come out at every corner. As soon as you think you know something, you're wrong. It's something or someone else. It's a good edge-of-your-seat movie that makes you think if you want to figure out what's going on before it all gets revealed to you.
The great thing about this movie is it has plenty of action for the ADHD crowd, but it also has a very complex and detailed plot for the rest of us who want to turn our brains on occasionally when we go to the movies.
Bottom Line: 4 out of 4 (own this movie)
