THE ONE-EYED MAN IS KING

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2019)

In the year 2055 everything is nice and neat and orderly except for John Anderton's (Tom Cruise) apartment. In Washington D.C. John works for an experimental pre-crime division. Using "pre-cons" they are able to predict murders before they happen. People are arrested and imprisoned for crimes they were going to commit. After a successful nine year experiment, the Justice Department has begun to question how can you find someone guilty of a crime they didn't commit? You would think that would have been challenged before 9 years by legal groups, but hey, just go with it.
After we see how the pre-con system works, we find that John sees himself killing a man he doesn't know in a premeditated crime. This sets off a long series of twisted events that make this a good sci-fi mystery crime thriller drama. Yes, everything but zombies.
This is a film made in 2002, but considering our advances in micro-drone technology and revelations about the NSA, it questions what lost of freedom are people willing to fore go on their civil liberties to be safe in their home from any murderer.
The film is a bit long, but relevant to today.
Parental Guide: 1 f-bomb. Sex. No nudity.
