movie be only effective if they involve the viewer while we can not enjoy someone story if we do not care about what happen to them . in general and the best way to do this ( at least for a mainstream movie ) be to present a strong story . base on the short story by philip k. dick and minority report be a tense thriller that pose a number of intrigue ethical question . welcome to the era of precrime represent a world without murder . three special people and know a the precogs and be about to predict murder before they happen . chief john anderton ( tom cruise ) work for the precrime division and and be passionate that it work . but when the precogs predict that he be go to commit a murder and anderton have to find out why before he be catch . if you could see into the future and do that mean that what you saw be really go to happen . can someone change their mind at the last minute . be it right to arrest someone for a crime that they be go to commit and but hadn not do it yet . these question lie at the heart of minority report and and fortunately they be not mention then disregard while the whole storyline revolve around answer them . despite his bizarre off screen antic and tom cruise be a good actor . this be certainly one of his best performance . anderton be a man who use this opportunity to battle personal demon and although it only partly work . he be deeply troubled by his past and and that conflict make anderton an almost tragic figure . cruise play the part perfectly and and we never stop root for him . colin farrell be effective in his breakout role a danny witwer and the agent from the judicial system who begin snoop around precrime and perhaps to take over john job . max von sydow bring a deep note of class to the film a precrime director and and john mentor and lamar burgess . it an effective performance and and for a man who could easily play an elderly man and von sydow be certainly an arresting figure . samantha morton have the most difficult part a agatha and one of the precogs . she bizarre and act a if she on some sort of a drug . but morton allow u to peek beneath to see her lucidity . kathryn morris and the always wonderful lois smith and and mike binder be good in bit part and while tim blake nelson and peter stormare steal scene in terrifically loopy performance . this be steven spielberg best film since save private ryan . he keep the pace up and and show u that he still a director and and not just a name on a marquee . spielberg have a vivid imagination and bring everything to life . this be a science fiction film and but it be ground in reality enough that it be plausible that everything that happen in this film could be real in the near future . the film be well paced and put together while it a complex plot and and deal with some serious ethical question and but it never confuse . special note go to his music selection . spielberg mix some classical music into the film very effectively and and the soundtrack by john williams represent some of his best work . the only problem i have with the film be that in one scene and it break the rule the film function by for it own convenience . that be say and most people would not notice ( or care ) . note represent while the action sequence be pretty standard stuff ( albeit well shot and choreograph ) and the flashback of murder be pretty graphic . this really push the boundary of pg 13 .
