Minority Report

The year is 2054, and in Washington is in work the experimental criminal system where the police know in advance who will comit the crime.Chief John Anderton(Tom Cruise)believes that the system is perfect until he is acussed of a murder of a man who he doesn't even know. His only chance is to run and to prove that the system isn't perfect. I can say that the film is very good, it has good acting and directing and a very good SF story of the author of legendary Blade Runner Philip K. Dick.The film is defenately one of the best of this year and could be nominated for at least 4 oscars.For directing, special efects and for actors Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton both for supporting role.For Colin Farrell this isn't a suprise even he is a relative unknown actor, who has shown all he's talent in film Tigerland.But is very dificult that he could win the oscar because Paul Newman has made a fantastic job in Sam Mendes film Road to Perdition. The big suprise is Samantha Morton a unknown actress that has made a fantastic role and is one of the bigest candidate for the oscar.Of the rest of the actors there is Max von Sydow most known from the film The Exzorcist and Tom Cruise.Cruise who has been nominated for 2 oscars for the films Jerry Maguire and Magnolia and who made also very good roles in films like Risky Business, The Color of Money, Top Gun, Rain Man and Born on the fourt of July is the leading actor in this film.He has done an ok job but not excelent so i dont belive he will be nominated for any major award.This film has also very good special efects. The director of the film is Steven Spielberg who has won 2 oscars for films Schindler's list and Saving Private Ryan and this could be the third.This film is one of Spielbergs best after Jaws,Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's list, and if I think Spilberg hasn't done any bad movie in his whole career. So what to say in the end maybe that the film was a big hit of this year and has made a profit of 135 000 000 only in USA, and that is one of the best SF film of all times togeather with also fantastic SF films like Blade Runner, The Matrix and Twelve Monkeys.
