filled with loopholes...

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2006)

no clue how that movie could be nominated for anything but pitifully failing to bit its own tail....... loopholes in storyboard, police procedures, territoriality, the list is nearly endless. pitiful DO **NOT** buy or pay to see this movie, unless you intend to turn your brain off, while watching it :(
without spoiling anything... what director imagines that removing the eyeballs from a person's head would leave two 3 to 4 inch deep craters in the person's head? a no-brainer?
simply not worth its money, unless you get it for free.

the story starts with a RED ball (pair), because the crime about to be committed is passionate and therefor not planed of; the crime Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise) shall commit is announced with a brown ball, for a premeditated crime. But until a few minutes before the crime

he doesn't know the victim (a John Doe, AGAIN...)

he doesn't know the place (hotel, how original)

he has no motif whichever to kill someone he doesn't know.

Bullocks if THAT is a premeditated crime
Secondly, Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise)'s service weapon, sized on the scene of above "crime" is used by his boss (Max von Sydow) to kill the FED who is auditing Precrime (Colin Farrell). Beside the unrealistic assumption that the weapon found on a murder scene would be LOADED in the hands of an investigator, why o why would any police blame the original owner of the weapon for the death? is Precrime so dumb or even dumber?
finally, the final uttermost non-sense; why is PREcrime involved in the arrest of its ex-chief, for the murder of its ACTING-chief, way out of DC. how could it be, despite all this blood, that Precrime would go national?
