Everybody's a critic - 'Minority Report'

H 1/2

You don't have to be Miss Cleo to figure out where this movie is going -- it is so predictable. This Orwellian sci-fi "thriller" is actually more of a "yawner."

Tom Cruise plays futuristic cop John Anderton who uses psychic readings of the future to identify and arrest criminals before they actually commit their crimes -- talk about profiling! Of course, it is not long before Anderton finds himself on the run charged with the future murder of a man he has never even met.

Victimized by the "pre-crime" system that he helped create -- hmm, that's a novel idea (NOT!).

Sci-fi fans may enjoy some of the special effects and technological wizardry, but I found them to be extremely distracting and so "out there" that they make the "willing suspension of disbelief" an even further stretch.
