Review of Minority Report (2002) by Adrian B — 09 Dec 2011
John Anderton (Tom Cruise) is a police captain in the year 2054, and part of a special unit that is able to prevent murders by reading the minds of the assailants before the act occurs. This includes an opening scene for which one murder almost happens, but gets avoided, when the husband is caught before killing his wife and her lover.
However, the tables of the unit turn when Anderton, himself, is predicted in murdering a man for which he has never met. His life turns completely upsidedown and the unit tries to hunt him down. Not one of Spielberg's best, as the RT consensus suggests, but it is still a pretty good film.
The special effects and acting are fairly well done, along with the fascinating plot. The length of the movie, however, is a little long. I also felt it was not as involving as his other hits, such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
" However, it is hard to match early craftmanship as superb as that with his previous films.
