The evils of big government...one of those "warning" films.
This one really makes you think. It's frightening to imagine a world where the gov't monitors so much, has that much control, always knows where you are (the eye scanning, the spiders running around the city checking IDs). Not surprisingly, Libertarians promote this film.

Creepiest scenes - eye transplant, Agatha's lake memory (especially discovering the identity of her mother's killer), the greenhouse with the weird plants, the floating prison cells.

And then there are the obvious ethical questions - is it right to arrest someone before they actually commit a crime? I mean, people are arrested for attempted robbery, rape, and murder, but you don't get locked up for the rest of your life (although plenty or murderers and rapists certainly DESERVE life in prison...and/or castration, in the case of rapists). It's a tempting idea, but how do you know what you're going to do until you do it?

If I were one of the potential victims, I would be grateful to the Precrime Unit for killing the criminal before harm came to me. It's a sort of self-defense. If the police didn't kill him, maybe I would have, and that would have been legal. Like I said, it really makes you think.

Recently just bought Minority Report... And boy was I dissapointed
Recently I just bought Minority Report, because I was looking to by a new home and didn't want to live by any minorities.... And boy was I dissapointed.. This wasn't a report, it was an actual DVD!!! And no I'm not lying... So I decided to put it in my DVD player, still expecting to get that report of where all the minorities live in the United States. Instead pops up Tom Cruise going on about some sort of Bull****. Needless to say I had to buy a home based on my own minority instincts. Unfortunatly I now live next to 2 minorities and 1 pedofile... If only I had a real Minority Report...

A Masterpeice
Minority Report is a sophisticated and intelligent take on the time worn theme of the predator becoming the prey.

Set in a gritty, detached, futuristic America, Tom Cruise plays an intolerant and jaded law enforcment agent whose sense of justice and fairness is clouded by the disapearance of his seven year old son years earlier. He is a firm believer in new police technology that harnesses the power of three psychics - pre congnitives as they are called - to predict criminal behavior and enable law enforcment officers to arrest potential criminals before they actually commit crimes. The ACLU has been asleep at the wheel that's for sure.

When Cruise's character is set up to be a victim of his own beloved crime technology he sets out to find out who is behind his frame up and why.

Tom Cruise has seriously damaged his credibility but he is truly the mose underrated actor of our day. It's a shame that his star status has overshadowed his acting ability. His performance in Minority Report is brilliant and Steven Speilburg creates a gritty noir world that invokes a stylish cross between Escape from New York and Blade Runner. This is the sort of movie that gets under you skin and will stay in your thoughts for days afterward. It's haunting, disturbing, troubling and intense.
