The Best Steven Spielberg movie ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2003)

2002 couldn't be a perfect year could it? "Far From Heaven" depicted the stereotypes between interracial relationships to homosexuality in the 1950's which still happens today, to "Bowling for Columbine" in which Michael Moore showed how Americans are fanatics towards having a gun; now in Steven Spielberg's latest film, he shows the more futuristic side towards people's mind: prediction.
The main character in "Minority Report" is John Atherton (Tom Cruise), a futurist cop who heads Pre-Crime, an organization dealing with people's fate on whether or not they are going to commit a crime. He organizes the operation after losing his son from an abductor six years ago in which his wife divorced him and now all he has left is his job and PCP he gets from a blind drug dealer.
The way the cops read the future is by having three individuals floating on top of a pool with water and milk combined; the main head reader is Agatha (Samantha Morton) in which she sees the crime being committed while the two males repeat the incident.
Now the question is, what would happen if you were targeted for a crime you were not even involved in? That is what happens to Atherton's character as he believes that he was set up by Danny Witward (Colin Farrell), a investigator for Washington D.C., in which he believed that everything has its flaws, including the whole pre-crime system.
Nobody believes Atherton is innocent as he is on the run from the cops and the people of the city. In order to clear his name, John must go after the source behind the incident and set everything straight.
"Minority Report" is a great movie, which is ten times better than A.I., and at the same time a very valuable lesson to anybody who wants to predict the future and realize that everything can't be true. As much as Roger Ebert hailed it as the best film of 2002, I hailed it as the best Steven Spielberg movie ever made.
