Very profound,very absorbing

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2005)

When you think Spielberg,you think-family entertainment,great CGI,great cinematography.And then you have to watch this film and you are completely bowled over.I was,and I now have developed a new opinion of Spielberg altogether.Yes ,this is a story set in the future,but the plot is novel and anything but merely sci-fi fare.Tom Cruise plays Richard Anderton,who heads a new type of law enforcement agency called Pre-crime.The unique thing about it is that it uses the telepathic abilities of three young people to predict when a crime will happen,and thereby prevent it.Naturally,the system goes wrong and Anderton finds himself a victim of the very system he believed in.The plot is handled very well,and the unexpected twist to the story makes the film all the more fun to watch.Colin Farell plays his part well,and so does Max Van Sydow.The special effects add to the atmosphere of the film,and never become mere gimmicks for entertaining youngsters.A great movie indeed.
