March 24, 2009Spielberg's disturbingly obvious aesthetic choices turn an intelligent, expansive premise into galvanizing and easy entertainment. But entertainment it is; even if the obvious swells of dramatic music and abuse of the blue camera filter pull you out of the film, the fantastic act... ...( read more )

While it strays from Dick's narrative, it nails the basic premise and some quintessential Dickian motifs. full review

Minority Report won't go down as one of Spielberg's greatest films -- there are a few gaping holes in the plot, and some awkward attempts at humor. But it's a wonderfully chilly thrill ride while it l... full review

This is the kind of pure entertainment that, in its fullness and generosity, feels almost classic. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
While the film, deftly imagined by screenwriters Scott Frank and Jon Cohen, doesn't entirely hold together, its dark, twisty chases and tricky puzzles have much more going for them than Spielberg's la... full review

Cruise will never be a master thespian, but there's no one better at putting across the charisma of control, and the opening sequence of Report is an astonishingly fluid demonstration of his gifts. full review

September 16, 2007'Minority Report' is Spielberg's best of the 2000s.
Great story and script. It fast-paced, intelligent, and real at the same time.
Tom Cruise gives a great emotional performance and uses his smile perfectly. Samantha Morton gives a great performance as a woman who is frighteningly not used to the world around her. Max Von Sydow is good, but not memorable. Colin Farrell gives a great snobby performance and his chemistry with Cruise is top-notch.
The star of the film is Steven Spielberg. This movie is an old-school noir story, set in the future. The production design is high-tech with chrome and clear windows everywhere. The special effects are amazing, as well as the cinematography and editing. Visually this is one of the best movies. I've ever seen.
Never boring and always interesting. This is Spielberg's 'Schindler's List' and 'The Color Purple' for the new millennium. -
June 9, 2007I saw it on ABC Movie Night and i loved it. It had suspence, action, and a good story line. all the things i like in a movie.

October 15, 2006I was surprised by how much I really enjoyed this movie when Tom Cruise is such a developmentally stunted moron!

September 21, 2006Theres futuristic movies, theres crime movies, and then theres the offspring of the two. It has the storyline of an enthralling keeps-you-guessing plot, set in a very real futuristic city landscape.
Justins Best Bit: The end, i wont spoil it for you.
