Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    This busy sci-fi thriller often seems like a page full of equations rendered meaningless by an early misplaced decimal point.

  • Nigel Floyd, Time Out

    Another failed attempt to bring Dick's deliriously paranoid mind-set to the screen.

  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    Next features Nicolas Cage as a clairvoyant who can see events before they occur. If anyone on the production team had similar abilities, they could have foreseen that the film was a folly in the making.

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    A schlocky mix of bad special effects and worse Cage hairdos.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    Once you know the rules, it's hardly worth playing. Especially when you find out you've been tricked.

  • Al S


    A thrilling, clever and action-packed thrill-ride. It`s full of great suspensful moments, great action sequences and a wicked twist ending that makes yours eyes pop wide-open. It`s cool, fun and very enteratining.

  • Sophie B


    I really like the idea behind it however it just turned into a mash up of action and bad acting. Cage looks like he mock acting in an attempt to be funny, Moore looks like she's trying too hard to be someone she's really not suited to play and Biel just can't act at… More

    OK where to begin, guess what, I didn't like this either, another Phillip K Dick adaptation and another movie about being able to see the future or a couple minutes ahead anyway. Its a nice idea, hardly original these days, back then sure, now no. 'Minority Report' was… More
