Storyline
In the year 2054 A.D. crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. thanks to an elite law enforcing squad "Precrime". They use three genetically altered humans (called "Pre-Cogs") with special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton (Tom Cruise) heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. Worse, Anderton doesn't even know the victim. He decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female Pre-Cog Agatha (Samantha Morton) that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent. |

Tom Cruise (John Anderton) is the chief of the Pre-Crime unit of the Washington D.C. police department. This is a unit that learns about murders before they happen and have the job to catch the murderers before they can act. One of he's finest roles in my opinion, as one of the greatest action movie actors around in one of the best movies made by the legendary Steven Spielberg.

The acting is great, the storyline is exceptional and the directing and effects are incredible, as in all of Steven Spielberg's movies. This is, by all accounts, a movie that everyone should see.

Even though I can't get over the fact that in the future they seem to ignore the idea of some thing being transmitted wirelessly, it's still fun.
