Minority Report (2002) Review

Tom Cruise seems to be an actor who can do a lot. He still has a few items to add to his resume: play a villain, voice an animated character, and bring his acting to the small screen. He's explored virtually every genre: romance, sci-fi, drama, mystery, thriller, and of course, action. He hasn't met much success in sci-fi. That was until Minority Report. Edge of Tomorrow was successful as well, but his third sci-fi flick, War of the Worlds, fell flat. Edge of Tomorrow has so much action that it's hard to categorize it as only sci-fi, but Minority Report is clearly more of a sci-fi film than action. Sure, it features great action sequences, but it's mystery sci-fi, not action sci-fi. Minority Report starts with an interesting premise, Pre-Crime, and the movie gets a thousand times better when John Anderton is accused of planned murder, and it becomes a fugitive movie. Anderton's new ideas and movies keep us excited, filled with pleasure from great action, and thinking about the mystery of the story. Minority keeps at, never getting slightly boring and always inventing new ideas, and when the mystery gets unraveled at the end, it's the highlight of the movie. Tom Cruise and bald didn't mix well, but Tom Cruise and mystery did.
Movie Rating: A
