Product Description
Based on a short story by the late Philip K. Dick, this science
fiction-thriller reflects the writer's familiar preoccupation with
themes of concealed identity and mind control. Tom Cruise stars as John
Anderton, a Washington, D.C. detective in the year 2054. Anderton works
for "Precrime," a special unit of the police department that arrests
murderers before they have committed the actual crime. Precrime bases
its work on the visions of three psychics or "precogs" whose prophecies
of future events are never in error. When Anderton discovers that he has
been identified as the future killer of a man he's never met, he is
forced to become a fugitive from his own colleagues as he tries to
uncover the mystery of the victim-to-be's identity. When he kidnaps
Agatha (Samantha Morton), one of the precogs, he begins to formulate a
theory about a possible frame-up from within his own department.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, who hired a team of futurists to devise
the film's numerous technologically advanced gadgets,
Minority
Report co-stars Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, and Neal McDonough.
Reviews
- Minority Report - A great Sci-Fi flick!
This is a movie that I was unfortunately unable to see at the
theaters and regretted it then and even more so now, seeing how great a
movie it is. You can normally expect a Steven Spielberg film to
contain; stunning imagery, intense suspense and an overly enthralling
film, which he delivers perfectly in this film. Minority Report is an
absolutely riveting film that will have you going from the moment the
film starts to the very last second. Tom Cruise's more recent films
really haven't really lived up to expectations, not so in this film. He
seems to be completely in his stride with this role. He performs
brilliantly in this film. Nods to Max Von Sydow as well. If you're
into action/mystery films with a good dose of Science Fiction tossed in
for good measure, this is your film. Minority Report is a must for your
DVD collection!
The premise:
It is the year 2054 and the
film takes place in Washington D. C. For the past several years, murder
is all but a thing of the past. With the advent of the Pre Crime
division, where three pre-cogs, see a murder before it happens. Tom
Cruise plays the chief of the Pre Crimes division, leading the troops in
the apprehension of these criminals who haven't, yet are about to
commit murder. His character is plagued by the murder of his son, six
years prior and is suffering the emotional damage from that murder. The
pre-cogs, foretell a murder and as Tom Cruise is working his amazing
futuristic computer to discover who the murderer is, he finds that it is
he who is the murderer. And so goes the film as he makes his way out
of the Pre Crime building and starts on his quest to figure out who has
set him up.
