Entertainment Reviews:
...Hollywood's first teaming of Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg delivers the goods and then some....It's as topical as movies get...
USA Today
...[Spielberg has] become a more nuanced and provocative filmmaker....In the future it's likely to be a cult classic...

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Too much of Minority Report is facile, albeit at a very high level.

Baltimore Sun
...It's revved up on visionary action, laced with dark humor and powered by a topical idea....Spielberg pulls out every techno trick...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/4 --
Spielberg creates an intriguing world that is at once futuristic and accessible, it makes our collective imagination soar but is never alienating.

Outlook
High-concept science-fiction escapades often try to impose new ways of seeing, but Spielberg seems intent on blistering our optic nerves.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Deviation from the original Dick story leaves huge gaps in the plot which require implausible explanations in order to close out the film.

Behind The Lens
Product Description:
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. Spielberg expertly mixes thrilling chase and suspense sequences (the best of which involves Anderton being pursued by eye-scanning mechanical spiders) and stunning special effects with a challenging look at society's willingness to sacrifice privacy and the notion of free will for convenience and security. MINORITY REPORT is a thought-provoking and exciting film that ranks with Spielberg's best.
