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 Average Rating:
 Rating: - Entertaining adaptation of Dick's classic short story "Minority Report," like "Bladerunner," is based on a Philip K. Dick story (although this time a short story). The plot revolves around a future where murders have almost been eliminated, thanks to a technology that allows the protagonist, John Anderton (played by Tom Cruise) to see into the future and stop a murderer before the act has been committed. The plot, which is excellent, is only half of the reason this film makes the list. The film resembles "Bladerunner," in more ways than having been ...

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 ...

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: - Roller coaster thrills marred by swiss cheese plotJohn Anderton (Tom Cruise) is chief of the Precrimes Unit in Washington, D.C. in the year 2053. The unit has abolished murder in their city with the aid of three "precogs" who can see the crimes before they happen. Police arrest the suspect based on the visions and the prisoner's are put into suspended animation immediately. The "trial" each receives is apparently limited to their appearance in the precog visions. Anderton believes in the system wholeheartedly and is proud of the results. Just after ... Read More 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. It's beautifully constructed, intense, meaningful, thought provoking, thrilling...an all around edge of your seat thriller that delivers on every front. 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.
