Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Set 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

Sci-fi crime thriller set in the year 2054 about a policeman - played by Tom Cruise - who works in the Department of Precime in Washington D.C. which uses people with the gift of precognition to prevent murders before they happen. But one day the precognitives predict that Tom Cruise himself will commit a murder; a prediction that leads to Tom Cruise going on the run to clear his name and in the process uncovering a murder that happened in the past; one that somehow the Department of Precrime didn't ...

Rating: - Spielberg & Cruise, what a combo
Does Steven Spielberg ever do anything that's bad? Not likely. This is an interesting story with many innovative ideas and gadgets. Tom Cruise makes the whole thing believable. The cast is great including Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, and Max Von Sydow. It's a long movie, but it moves along fine.

Rating: - One of the best in the breed; a film that is mentally as well as visually captivating...
`Minority Report' is one of those movies that just gets better and better EVERY TIME I watch it.

Stephen Spielberg, the man who's famous for delivering intense science fiction thrillers doesn't disappoint this go around either. `Minority Report', while remarkably absent from the Oscar shortlist, makes a huge impact on the viewer. From an impressive ... Read More
