Very good but some plot holes

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2002)

I found the movie very gripping, although I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan and think another actor would have filled that role better.
*Possible spoilers*
The major plot hole in the movie in my opinion was how Anderton was set up by Burgess. It doesn't make any sense. All Burgess did was pay off a guy (Crow) to pretend he was the one who abducted Anderton's son. From that simple act, how could Burgess know that the pre-cogs would predict Anderton would murder him? Burgess didn't provide any clues to Anderton to lead him to Crow. The other problem was that Anderton was put in the situation to murder Crow only because the pre-cogs predicted it. But why would the pre-cogs predict it in the first place. It's a paradox.
Another scene that bothered me involved when the cops were after the first murderer shown in the movie. They identified the correct housing development but were unsure which house it was out of a possible six or so. There were about eight police officers there. Instead of standing around trying to guess the correct house, they should have split up and each enter a different house trying to find the killer.
I thought the action scenes could have been done a little better and a little more realistically. I found it a little hard to follow some of the action scenes because of the MTV style filming, especially the scene in the alley. Of course it was completely implausible that Anderton would be surrounded by eight armed cops and escape. I would expect that from another summer action movie, but this movie was too intelligent for that. The scene where he was jumping from car to car reminded me of an old video game.
