"Minority Report" is a film that will be hard to forget and hard to dislike.

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2002)

Steven Spielberg directs this futuristic tale of murder, set-ups and just plain strange. The movie stars Tom Cruise(another great preformance turned in by him...off the footsteps of his last film "Vanilla Sky" and still a great preformance), he plays Detective John Anderton, a man who is a druggie and a broken man, ever since the abduction of his young son while they were at a public pool. That follows him throughout the moive, and of course it becomes his weakness, but all in all, it's what brings him down. He works for a special unit of police officers called 'Pre-Crime', they stopped murders before they actually happen. Anderton, and his other workers, are introduced to Detective Ed Witwer(wonderfully played by Colin Farrell,a actor I enjoy watching), he is there to investigate; as he tells Cruise at one point, he's there to find a problem in the 'Pre-Crime' unit because there always is one.
The tabels are then turned on Anderton when he accused of a murder that he has no clue he is goin to preform, he doesn't even have a clue who the person is that he is suppose to kill. He then runs, he runs from his co-workers, his friends, because he has no other choice; as told in the movie on many times and which is the tagline of the movie; 'everybody runs'. He then is informned by the creator of 'Pre-Crime' that there might be a chance he can find something called a 'Minority Report' were is shows that they could be wrong. The movie is then placed with Cruise running(sometimes flying as a chase with jetpacks is shown; and is one of the highlights of this movie), and him trying to get ahold of that report...to prove he was innocent.
The movie looks prefect, just the color of all the scenes, a grayish color, that made me fall in love with it. I thought the effects were done prefectly(another favorite of mine is the guns the officers use, you will know what I mean when you see it), and the preformances are something else that makes the movie...Cruise is great(again); Colin Farrell is great as the cocky detective bent on ruining Anderton; Max von Sydow is also good as Direcor Burgess half creator of 'Pre-Crime' and a personal friend of Anderton he doesn't want to believe the crime either; and last theres a small role, cameo if you will, by one of my favorites; Peter Stormare as Doctor Solomon; a one time crazy plastic surgeon that Anderton put away for burning his victims alive and tape them, he's always entertaing at his movies, again I was surprised and happy to see him in this movie.

"Minority Report" was a very good film, it also has a twist(which I'm not goin to tell) in the middle, keeps you awake. It has a little comedy invovled to make you smile and maybe chuckle, it also has fun with advertisements within the movie; such as 'Gap' and ' Pespi', I don't know if it was on purpose or was for fun, that I'm not sure about. This is on my top 10 list of best movies on 2002; "Windtalkers" took number one last week and will be hard to beat; but "Minority Report" has made it on my top 10 list, I really enjoyed it and thought it was as great as I thought it was going to be.
