For me, it is a special film. Out of any explanation. An experience. Andva fascinating movie. For the presence of Max van Sydow and his performance. For Tom Cruise job. For the delicacy and precision of story. And for many others details. And, sure, for the admirable made of a drama with deep roots in near reality.

This script was eventually tossed out - the only original element remaining in the final film is the sequence in the car factory, an idea that Spielberg loved. In the original short story, "The Minority Report" (1956) the protagonist John Anderton is short, fat, and balding, yet here we get action man Cruise, up against the young Federal agent Farrell, who later appeared in another Dick adaptation of Total Recall (2012).

Dick (1928-1982) on the Washington D.C. police-force in the Mid of the 21st century, adapting a dangerous and morally-questionable combination of life-stock, namely the "Pre-Cogs" and digitized glass tablet technology, leading to the processions of program "Pre-Crime", where victims and abusers are equally identified before the action, handled by leading-role-playing Hollywood Star Tom Cruise, who brings never been seen before beats of distress and agony to fight his way through a super-suspense storyline as wrongly-framed master detective Chief John Anderton, getting confronted with new old faces of the system, battling supporting characters portrayed by Colin Farrell at age 25 office-storming Danny Witwer, Max von Sydow as "PreCrime" Principal Lamar Burgess, and actor Peter Stormare, portraying eye-care Doctor Solomon Eddie in an magnificently-shot center scene of drama, comedy, action and tiny-spider-robot interogation thrills by conflicting through a neo-noir image system created by cinematographer Janusz Kaminski with an extensive use of hot-spot lighting, mirroring effects digitally as in-camera, making "Minority Report" stunning science fiction action entertainment of a 135 minutes final cut, becoming arguably Steven Spielberg's best film of his career.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
... View MoreMinority Report is about some cop who is connected to a future murder and must unravel the conspiracy... oh f*** it. The story and conception has an interesting premise pertaining to utilizing clairvoyance to capture criminals before they act like morons but in the end it is stupid. Just flat out stupid. Which, of course, leads to this movies slow ass pacing. But I did like the cinematography especially the prison sequences. The action was okay. Not anything excited but they could of done worse I suppose. I don't get the love people have for this movie. Maybe they are on crack. I don't know.
