A Sci-fi Classic

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2015)

In a future where homicides can be prevented by a Pre-crime Unit, the practice is controversial. How can you incarcerate someone for a crime not committed? It is the eve of a national referendum on Pre-crime and Chief John Anderton's (Tom Cruise) world is about to be turned upside down. The Justice Department sends Danny Witwer (Colin Farrell) to oversee his operation. But that is only the beginning of his problems.
This is a wonderful film that combines a fantastic story by Philip K. Dick with a thoughtful and convincing future world, full of day-to-day technology that feels both exhilarating and fearsome.
"Minority Report" has a complex script with many twists. It is complemented by the skillful and stunning direction of Steven Spielberg. While watching, so many moments capture the eye and the imagination.
I consider this a sci-fi classic, a fully-realized crime drama fused to an exploration of social issues.
