Spielberg and Tom Cruise best movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2002)

I'm not really a fan of Spielberg or Tom Cruise but is the first time that I'm totally sure that they deserved a 10 for the movie. This is not a typical Spielberg movie who in the past years decided to work with dinousaurs and the hollocast (I haven't seen yet AI). This movie from the same mind of totally recall and blade runner is the best picture I've seen in years. The plot is interesting, and the script is excellent, but the main attraction is the work of the director of Photography Janus Kaminsky, who recreate a very futuristic but realistic world, with lot of numbers and a grey and blue tone. The cast work well. This is a role from Tom Cruise who give his best performance. Cruise isn't a great actor, but in the few past year he grew a lot as an actor (compare his peromance in MI1 and MI2, and makes his performance credible and John Anderson the drogadictic police chief, who is involve in a future crime. However his co-star Colin Farrell, isn't good enough as the Javert of the 21 century Danny Witwear. He start well but later he collaps. Much more better are Max von Sydow and Samantha Morton. Both gave the best performance of the movie. Von Sydow is one of the best actors of all the time, and he did not dissapointed here. He makes his ambiguos chararcter natural and credible, and finally Mrs Morton, is a beautiful lady that look horrible as the tiny co gorb Agatha (except the last scene), but gave a great performance, specially at the end where she steal the show as the mysterious woman that had the minority report. She will be the next Redgrave and Glenda Jackson (the three in one). The rest of the cast, from the police, to the doctors and scientific and unkown actress that portrays Cruise wife are excellent. Finally congratulation to Mr Spielberg that gave us an imaginative story with lot of suspense and confirm him as the best North American director alive. Steaven reafirms here as a storyteller. IT was a pity that M Report wasn't the biggest blockbuster summer movie of 2002, because is a masterpiece.
