Wish the precogs should have prevented this movie.

Rating: 4/10 (4 January 2003)

Warning--some degree of spoiler here.
Speilberg just didn't know what to make of this movie. He didn't build suspense, didn't even get a decent or consistent music score. Instead, like a song without a melody  or even a consistent key, it jumped all around in tone, in era (future versus modern), and even in plot, which utterly changes partway through to having nothing to do with a so-called `minority report'  with a resulting mishmash of other movie pieces and tones, borrowing momentary bits here and there from Bladerunner, Angelheart, Jacobs ladder, country love stories, Patriot Games, even your run-of-the-mill action flick (the ones with those chase scenes that are interminably long and not at all interesting). There's even a little MIB-like face-changing gizmo, used only once and for no purpose at all. While we start all high tech sideways travel, by midway, we're just plain old mall shopping in the rain, the scenery, clothing, architecture straight out of 1990s (wasn't that mall interior used by Woody Allen?), and country screen porches elsewhere. And when are movies going to quit being all gray and blue and humorless as if that is how to create suspense?	Wish the precogs could have foreseen this waste of film.
