Minority Report (2002)

Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers:  Scott Frank, Jon Cohen, Philip K.Dick
Cast:      Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, Samantha Morton
In a future where a special force unit is able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes, an officer from that unit is himself accused of a future murder.

Haven't seen a Spielberg film in a while and the film reminded me why. He does not take into account the intelligence of the viewer and spoon feeds every bit of information which makes most of  his films uninteresting. There was good potential for the film despite its glaring plot hole, but Spielberg's direction doesn't help the cause. The Indiana Jonesque stunt sequence after Cruise finds that he is accused of murder is not in sync with the overall mood of  the film.

Rating: 2.5/5
