Few thoughts.. inc. spoilers

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2002)

Well, this was a bit of an odd film. On one hand, the special effects were really really good, the action sequences (what few there were) were excellent.
**SPOILERS BELOW**
But, I can't help feel like it was all a bit of a mess. The Pre-Cogs forsaw Tom Cruise killing a guy in a pre-meditated murder, giving the film 36 hours to run instead of the usual 1-2 when an emotional, spontaneous murder occurs.
Problem is, murders don't know what the pre-cogs see. Tom Cruise did. Therefore, without the pre-cogs making the prediction he was going to kill someone, he wouldn't have gone out and set off the chain of events leading to someone falling out of a window. This is the bit I don't understand. By giving him that insight, they basically setup the murder to happen. Why? Why not just not do anything, predict some other murder maybe. I can't see Leo being killed if Mr Cruise hadn't have seen the pre-cogs vision.
Oh well, was still a fairly decent film. The ending was ok, the very end was a bit .. awkward.
