Fascinating idea and well executed.

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2003)

I generally get annoyed when people say that any given movie wasn't as good as it could have been. IMHO a movie is what it is - if you don't like it make a better version yourself. That said, I have some sympathy with those that have suggested something along those lines with this film. It is an amazing premise and technically stunningly well done. It could not possibly have covered all possibilities and would always have left some aspects hanging (I always thought any real in-depth analysis of the plight of the pre-cogs or the legality of sentencing for attempted murder as though there was actual murder was going to be lacking) but for all that it remains a fantastic movie, a wonderful ride and very thought-provoking. Any film that can have me talking, thinking and questioning 24 hours later is worth an 8 - which is what I give this movie.
