Theatrical report

A good, old fashioned good cops and bad cops movie, with plenty of action and heaps of futuristic technology to keep the most toy-addicted boy interested.

The downside is that because Minority report stars Tom Cruise, you know that his character is innocent. That might be a comfortable familiarity for people who like to read the last page of the book first, but for most it is an annoying predictability. Tom Cruise plays heroes because he wants to be a hero and he wants people to look up to him as if he is a hero, despite being an adulterer, a control freak, a baby killer and really, really short. That said, he is cute, has lots of muscles and, generally speaking, pretty good hair.

Sociologically, the concept of pre-crime has echoes in compulsory sentencing and other fun concepts dreamed up by right wing think tanks. Can't you just see Little Johnny Howard wetting his pants over this? It's a politician's dream come true: tough on crime, tough on the causers of crime. Don't think that it can't happen, "Big brother" is more than just a TV program, with security guards tracking people all around the city with video cameras, banks tracking your spending habits all over the world with credit and debit card transactions, software programmers tracking your online lifestyle with cookies and spyware...

Now that you know that everyone knows what you know, I tell you that Minority report is a fun addition to the science fiction action film genre, fun for boys and girls of all ages.
