Great premise and adapted from a great source material but sizzles out at the end.

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2020)

I recently rewatched this the other day and it was as great as before. But like before the ending left a bad taste in my mouth. In the future murder is predetermined by 3 siblings known as precogs. Two Male and the gifted one of the trio the female. John Anderton is a lead detective in the precog DC police department. Played by Tom Cruise and a great performance. I'd always liked Tom Cruise he is a great actor who really does a great job with the character and his loss of the past. Stephen Spielberg does a wonderful job visualizing the future and direction is near perfect as always. Action is great. Special effects seemed a little dated but still great to look at. Honestly the only thing that runs this movie is the ending. No spoilers here seeing this movie is almost 20 years old now. But the ending seems unfinished and rushed. Like they gave up. And not at the 3rd act. The 3rd act gets criticized a lot and I disagree it's the last 5 mins. Said I wasn't gonna but the heck with it. Spoiler
It ends with a damm narration tying everything up in a nice bowl. You actually feel cheated cause the movie starts with no narration ur thrown in this world with no explanation unless of course you have read Philip K Dicks short story which I have. The movie captures the visual and the story but unfortunately gives up and tracks on 5 mins of a happy ending which wasn't called for. I still recommend it just stop when the narration starts and say you saw a great movie
