Movie Reviews of Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: I was wrong
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually don't care for Tom Cruise but for this film he was a beautiful fit. It possesses a sci-fi background about a crime prevention program but it really is a who-dun-it and its theme concerns the abuse of power. Who will watch the watchers? The program predicts Cruise will murder somebody in 36 hours and marks him for arrest and imprisonment. The program is either wrong or the data was manipulated. He evades arrest and begins an investigation into the matter. As a result he learns that the program can interpet the facts differently at times and file minority reports about an alternative to the prediction. These reports are kept secret. The advocates of the program want its approval across the country but another camp is unconvinced. If truth is the proper interpetation of data how can you be sure about the infallibility of the predictions? Or feeding false information into the program for a false prediction? So who would set him up? There are a multitude of people with motive but very few with the means to do so. If it is a colleague at the office then why? At this point it becomes a murder mystery. It was well put together. You could watch the film on numerous occasions and keep it with a core group of films in your collection for the household.
Summary of Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie DVDSet in the chillingly possible future of 2054, Steven Spielberg's Minority Report is arguably the most intelligently provocative sci-fi thriller since Blade Runner. Like Ridley Scott's "future noir" classic, Spielberg's gritty vision was freely adapted from a story by Philip K. Dick, with its central premise of "Precrime" law enforcement, totally reliant on three isolated human "precogs" capable (due to drug-related mutation) of envisioning murders before they're committed. As Precrime's confident captain, Tom Cruise preempts these killings like a true action hero, only to run for his life when he is himself implicated in one of the precogs' visions. Inspired by the brainstorming of expert futurists, Spielberg packs this paranoid chase with potential conspirators (Max Von Sydow, Colin Farrell), domestic tragedy, and a heartbreaking precog pawn (Samantha Morton), while Cruise's performance gains depth and substance with each passing scene. Making judicious use of astonishing special effects, Minority Report brilliantly extrapolates a future that's utterly convincing, and too close for comfort. --Jeff Shannon
