Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2002)

I spent the first 2/3 of Minority Report enjoying the suspense and just riding the story's wave. I spent the last 1/3 of it trying to wrap my head around the inexplicably impossible paradox that the story centers around. I found myself asking: "So, if I put a jar of jelly on a counter in a diner across town I can know for a fact that the guy sitting next to me is going to go eat it tonight?" Maybe my brain is slowing down as the result of any number of abusive practices... but this movie just flat out doesn't work. When I can walk through the plot holes in a film I get lost in them and forget to watch the rest.
