The storyline is exceptionally original which does not conflict with any other movie that has been set in the future. The name Tom Cruise does not normally come to mind when one is thinking of a futuristic film, but he actually does play quite a good character although at times the quality of his acting is questionable.

Year - 2002
genre - Futuristic/action
Director - Steven Speilberg
Writers - Phillip K. Dick (short story)
Scott Frank (screnplay)
Awards - 16

The story of Minority report takes place in the future America 2054, due to the help of three psycic's it is now scientificaly possibble to predict acts of murder that are committed spontanously in the near future. No one bothers with pre meditated murder anymore as it is easily pick up. The pre-crime department is responsible for collecting data and finding out when and where the murder will take place and preventing it from happening.

Tom Cruise is the head of the pre-crime department, all is well until a prediction appears that within the next day he will commit murder. Naturally he escapes and endevours to prove his innocence while trying to refrain from being captured by the pre-crime squad and put in virtual reality (not a happy prospect).

This film comes up with some nice twists and superb turns, the special effects team who have had to practically work within every scene of Minority report have really excelled themselves. The futuristic technology is amazing and yet at the same time seems perfectly plausible that in around 50 years time we really could be living like that... almost.

This is a nice action packed film which supplies the viewer with a nice steady stream of fascination and violence while abstaining from long boring scenes of talking. when they are actually talking this is very relevant to the plot and doesnt drift off.

The acting is very good and i personally think that Colin Farrell who has appeared in such great films as Hart's war and Daredevil. plays aquality character and is by far one of the better actors throughout the film. unusually he does not have an irish voice, he masks his irish birth with natural ease and you could easily take him for a cocky American.

This DVD does not come with any special features as it is the basic and cheapest version of the film you can purchase. £3 was the price i payed at HMV, this is worth every penny. You'll definately want to watch this film a couple o' times.
