Lots of Special Effects going nowhere

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2005)

How can a movie starring Tom Cruise with direction by Steve Spielberg be bad? This movie actually answers that question. I guess whenever a movie has little or no plot going for it, you throw in chuck loads of special effects and set it in the future. Who could argue the validity of the plot? Ask yourself, why would Cruise wave his hands like a mime in front of a floating computer screen to access information from a database if not for a large paycheck? What's he trying to locate? Information on people who are going to commit a crime in the future. Even an idiot can figure out that he will become a victim of this technology. Anyone remember Logan's Run? A similar thing happens to Logan who was a cop that terminated people over the age of 30.
It always seems that when you take two great talents and try to marry them into a movie, you get nothing but special effects and very little plot or acting in the end.
