a5c7b9f00b In a future where a special police unit is able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes, an officer from that unit is himself accused of a future murder.
It is the near future, a future where murders have become so common, that a system had to be established. This system is called "Precrime", where 3 psychics can predict murders before they happen. Allowing police to stop the murders. This system is in production in Washington D.C. Where police officer John Anderton (who lost his son to a murder 6 years previous) has stopped numerous murders in his career. One day, he found out that he is the next person to commit a murder. Now, he is running away from a system he helped become successful, and trying to find out why he was set up to commit murder.
The film gets its name from a mention, half-way into the film, that when one of the three "predictions" differs from the other two it is suppresseda "minority report" soto not cause a furor. The main protagonist, John (Tom Cruise), pursues this to see if there is a flaw in the pre-crime arrests and perhaps innocent people are incarcerated. <br/><br/>If you take away the futuristic setting of this film, and all the special effects, it is quite an ordinary film noire "whodunnit." Crime fighters are at work, someone double-crosses, an innocent person is framed, he goes on the run, has to figure out the bad guy. Same story has been done many times. To his great credit, Spielberg didn't just try to invent what technology will be prevalent in 50 years, he held a retreat with experts in various fields and used their input for the film's design. Perhaps the most likely to be implemented are the various retinal scanners to identify people, and even target public advertisementsindividuals walk past.<br/><br/>The whole story of "Minority Report" would fall apart without (1) the belief in God who creates a pre-determined universe and (2) God will choose to communicate the pre-determined path. In the two depicted "future" murders the film uses, at least 3 or 4 people are involved in the images that are transmitted"future" events. In a random universe, it is quite unlikely that the events, even only 20 or 30 minutes in the future, would happen exactlypredicted, and it would be impossible for any one participant to "see" all the others. Therefore, it would have to be a supreme being, causing a pre-determination, and communicating it. For me, and probably for most others, that idea is so foreign that we can never take the concepteven a "what if" premise. Interesting science fiction, but may work bettera comedy (like Back To The Future or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) rather than a dark drama.<br/><br/>SPOILERS follow – Turns out John's mentor, the old and wise Lamar (Max von Sydow) needed to murder Agatha's (Samantha Morton) mother to keep Agathaone, and the most effective, of the three predictors. Sonot to get caught he hired a drifter to murder someone else at the very same spot, edge of a lake, dressed in the same clothes. When he duplicated it with Agatha's mother they thought it was an deja vu echo, and ignored it, because he had set up the system to work that way. The pre-crime division was dissolved, the three predictors, who had been the only survivors of a genetic experiment, lived out their lives in seclusion near the ocean.<br/><br/>Sept 2017 update: Just watched it again after 14 1/2 years, still an interesting story.
Steven Spielberg still seems to be a little on the Stanley Kubrick kick, but this time he gets it right after a little stumble with the so-so "A.I.". The director has taken on Phillip K. Dick's ("Blade Runner", "Total Recall") short story from the 50s and turned it into something futuristic, yet very foreseeable, which is what makes this story work. While not all good sci-fi is based on possible future events, the fact that some of the technology has caught up in time with what Dick had originally dreamed up is pretty frightening. <br/><br/> Tom Cruise continues his reignthe most appealing male "movie star" and is engagingour drug addicted protagonist ( a la Sherlock Holmes) in what seems like a "North By Northwest" meets "The Fugitive" on the "Blade Runner" set. Without giving away too many of the plot details, it can be said that this is one of the more intelligent and enjoyable sci-fi flicks to come along in a long time. The plot twists are slightly predictable, but still quite intriguing nonetheless. <br/><br/> It raises a lot of questions about where we are headeda society in many aspects. There's a balance of good and bad things that most futuristic movies don't have. It does show what we already know: people never change. While we may have advances in technology we are still going to be driven by greed, jealousy, and other flaws that have plagued man since the beginning man's existence. <br/><br/> This is definitely one to check out in the theaters. Cruise, Man Von Sydow ("Needful Things"), and Colin Farrell ("Hart's War") are all give solid performances and Spielberg is his usual masterful self. This is just the summer blockbuster sci-fi fans have been waiting for.
Taut entertainment that juggles brainy ideas about perception, predetermination and free will - and drops things in a messy third act where the vintage noir gets bathed in a bit too much Spielbergian glow.
