What do you get when you cross one of the most imaginative sci-fi directors with one of the biggest movie stars on the planet? Well, when it's Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise you get the thrilling adventure that is
Minority Report! After a career of mostly family fare, Spielberg takes a change of pace and directs this adult murder mystery set in the year 2054. The movie has a film-noir feel and a brilliant star-powered performance by leading man Tom Cruise.
Cruise plays John Anderton, a policeman who's in charge of the Pre-Crime unit in Washington. And it's called Pre-Crime because they arrest criminals before they get to commit their crimes. It's a system which has helped to keep Washington murder-free for 6 years. But then Anderton gets a new case and he sees that HE is the next murderer who has to be apprehended. And since he can't believe that he could actually kill someone, he goes on the run, and the rest of his colleagues go all-out to catch him, while at the same time they and he are investigating just why he would try to murder someone.
It's a tantalizing mystery and Spielberg's fantastic special effects never overpower the story which is filled with enough twists and turns to keep you riveted. The supporting cast also feature some very good performances, from Colin Farrell, Max Von Sydow and Samantha Norton. This is one audacious suspense thriller unlike any you've ever seen before. Brilliant! (5 out of 5, by Carlisle Johnson)
For six years, Washington D.C. has been murder-free thanks to astounding technology which identifies killers before they commit their crimes.
But when the chief of the Precrime Unit is himself accused of a future murder, he has just 36 hours to discover who set him up - or he'll fall victim to the "perfect" system he helped create.
It's a mind-blowing action thriller from director Steven Spielberg
