A modern classic. - By: Irikefe Okonedo, 08 Jun 2008 
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 & in the process uncovering a murder that happened in the past; one that somehow the Department of Precrime didn't know about. I found this to be a quite excellent film, with an intelligent plot, first-rate protagonist played by Tom Cruise & a wonderfully realised future world (the special effects reallly are something else). Spielberg is as usual in his element when making science fiction & this film is even better than the outstanding 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence' which he made the year before. A flawless combination of exceptional story telling & science fiction vision that is quite simply film-making at its very best. A modern classic.

Nothing Original - By: oeg-mol, 06 Jan 2008 
If you watched L.A. Confidential you wouldnt want to watch this one. They're almost same. Change the place,actors & add some science fiction you get minority report. I reallly think that's the end of the creative filmaking in Hollywood. Puzzling events trying to ponder the viewer who the real killer is. I bought this movie for the names T.C. & S.S but very disappointed at the end. Try Borat, it's best, very smart & real!
Awful - By: Sandman, 02 Oct 2007 
Dull dull dull. `Precogs' in a bath tub make predictions about crime. Cruise get implicated. He's more annoying than ever. Why couldnt they have caught & shot him? Sigh.
Oh.. My... God - By: Sandman, 27 Sep 2007 Ok, so everyone agrees that Tom Cruise is a clinicallly insane midget with a cult fetish? And that he a awful one dimensional actor who ego is so overblown it needs the insidiously evil Scientologists to massage it on a regular basis? Right? Good.
Now onto the film itself; now I love sci-fi, so much so that I watched this film despite knowing that it starred the pint sized freak Cruise. Well I suppose if you have very low standards & dont mind a plot surrounding 4 people who lay in a big bathtub predicting the future, this film may appeal to you. But shock horror, one of the people taking a bath doesnt agree with the rest of them! Yawn. so Cruise has to save her blah di blah.
Bad idea, bad acting, bad bad Cruise. I'd rather watch the entire series of `Rome' alll over again, than subject myself to this. Yes its that bad.
