Tagline: What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed... yet?
Plot: The science-fiction thriller MINORITY REPORT, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, is based on a short story by renowned writer Philip K. Dick. In the year 2054, in Washington, D.C., murder has been eliminated thanks to Precrime, a program that uses the visions of three psychics, called Precogs (an abbreviation for precognitive thinkers), to arrest and imprison would-be murderers before they have a chance to kill. Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime enforcer who believes in the system for his own personal reasons--years back his young son was abducted, and he has dealt with the loss by becoming a high-strung Precrime officer. The director of Precrime (Max von Sydow) is eager to take the program national, and feels threatened by an ambitious federal agent (Colin Farrell) who is bent on finding a flaw in the system. When Anderton finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he's never met, his faith in Precrime is instantly shaken. He goes on the run, and is trailed by the relentless Precrime police. In the tradition of BLADE RUNNER (also based on a Dick story), MINORITY REPORT is a dark, brooding vision of the future.

Minority Report has success on all fronts, and while some people will find the plot holes easier to overcome than others, there is little denying that Minority Report is an intriguing and dark film that is well executed. 9/10--Jason Picker (Movie Marshal)
Report manages to avoid the trap of rehashing tired material with style for the first three quarters of the film. It is a stylish film, looks and sounds great, has great acting but lacks any sort of great originality that would have elevated it to a height of it's own. Minority Report promised to deliver that, but it doesn't. 6/10--Paul Boschen (Movie Marshal)
A slow film that promises excitement and suspense, but fails to deliver. 5/10--Ryan Lester (Movie Marshal)
...there is a lot worth recommending about Minority Report, most notably the fantastic futuristic environment created by Spielberg. Had it been trimmed substantially, I've no doubt it would have been one of the best flicks of the year. As it stands, it'sstill excellent summer fodder.  --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
"Minority Report" easily ranks as the best summer blockbuster in years. Welcome back, Steven!  --Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)

| ...a futuristic film noir thriller that will have you clawing into your seat handles during some scenes, reaching for the tissue during others and consistently picking certain strands of your brain throughout. 8/10 --'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Impressively dark, imaginative, exciting, noir-ish sci-fi thriller with a superb performance by the Cruiser – this is Spielberg’s best film in ages.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
