Critics' Reviews

USA Today: Mike Clark
Stripped of all bravado, Cruise delivers a raw and probably detractor-proof performance. Spielberg does what he did right in creating a novel milieu for "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," but this time the writing is fresher and anything but unwieldy.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
It affirms that, even in the 2000s, movies do not have to be brain-dead to be exciting. When the season is over, Minority Report will more than likely stand out as the best picture to grace multiplex screens during the Summer of 2002.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
This film is such a virtuoso high-wire act, daring so much, achieving it with such grace and skill. Minority Report reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
Ferociously intense, furiously kinetic, it’s expressionist film noir science fiction that, like all good sci-fi, peers into the future to shed light on the present.Read Full Review »

Time: Richard Corliss
Spielberg's sharpest, brawniest, most bustling entertainment since "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the finest of the season's action epics.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
Spielberg's dark side may not be where everyone wants to live, but it's somehow encouraging to know that he has one.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
Spielberg takes assured control. In his hands, Minority Report is a classy, chilly quasi-Hitchcockian affair.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Taut entertainment that juggles brainy ideas about perception, predetermination and free will - and drops things in a messy third act where the vintage noir gets bathed in a bit too much Spielbergian glow.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Jay Carr
Cruise will never be a master thespian, but there's no one better at putting across the charisma of control, and the opening sequence of ''Report'' is an astonishingly fluid demonstration of his gifts.Read Full Review »
