Could have been very good

Rating: 6/10 (27 September 2003)

The problems with this film are what come up the most. The only reason John Anderton ran into Crow was because of what he saw. Then why would the pre-cog have a real vision if the only reason he would kill Crow was if he saw the vision. Does that make sense? I enjoyed the slant on Anderton's son, and the emotion Tom Cruise put into the character. Do we ever have an action hero who is also a dope head? This is one of Tom Cruise's best performances.
The movie should have been darker during the action sequences. When Colin Farrell's character is chasing Cruise through the apartment building and auto production plant, I just found the music to be happy and Spielberg was trying to be comical. The movie reaches it's climax about 30 minutes before it ends. I would have preferred if the movie ended with Anderton actually finding out what happened to his son. The ending comes on to fast and sets a pace that the rest of the movie had not set. 6/10 Good
