From a short story of the same name by Philip K. Dick. In the future, crimes can be predicted before they happen, and people are arrested and charged with murders they haven't yet committed...

This is the short review, the long review contains spoilers, don't go there unless you've seen it or have ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of seeing this movie because you'll find out way more than you want to know.

Spielberg and Cruise. Together. The combination almost had me running as fast as I could in the opposite direction...I mean, either alone is seriously capable of screwing up an otherwise good movie, but put them TOGETHER...no friggin' way! but the previews were good, and it's a Philip Dick story, so I thought, what the heck, I have a free ticket...

And I'm so glad I went. Yes, there are 10 dollar signs above this movie, I would have been glad to pay more than the going rate for it.

Folks, this is seriously intelligent, suspenseful, well paced science fiction here, with GREAT special effects that are not overdone, no beating you over the head with how cool they are (hard to believe Spielberg had a hand in that)...drop what you're doing, run out the door and go see it NOW, you'll be glad you did.

Oogies: the hallucinatory bits of images of dead people that the precogs were showing were a little creepy, and there were a couple of other things that I can't mention in the short review.
