MINORITY REPORT (Theatrical Release USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.5|5.0 Starsìììì

Minority Report—science fiction movie—relies on the talents of Tom Cruise, Max Von Sydow, Neal McDonough, Colin Farrell, and Tim Blake Nelson to interpret and relay its story. The storyline is very good, the acting and portrayal excellent. The film is worth both time and money investment. It’s creative, fresh, innovative, and entertains its audience with a new concept.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. This Steven Spielberg-directed movie is one of his better efforts. It’s an excellent streaming movie because its depth of story doesn’t allow one to easily leave the film and come back later to resume it. Buy the ticket. It’s a good addition for the home video collection.
