Minority Report (2002)
cool and refreshing
This movie is entertainment at its best. Nothing really deep or emotional (that we haven't seen before), but the action and plot are outstanding. Plenty of unique action sequences and plot points that I'm sure will be imitated years on end. It's great how they took one pretty simple idea (that of predicting crime), and played with it so creatively.

Worth watching, but way too long
I would not reccomend this movie for the impatient. It goes extremely slowly and frequently dwells on mundane scenes. But if you can take it, it is a pretty interesting story. As noted above, the plot goes through a series of unfair situations which are often pretty humorous and relatable. The main plot deals with materialism, jealousy, and righteous perseverence. At first I found the ending to be pointless and stupid, but if you think about it, it's really pretty optimistic. The acting is also top notch, although there are only a few scenes with heavy dialogue (again, it moves slow). Visually, it depicts Beijing quite well, with all its ramshackle residential areas and paradise-like hotels. An overall well done movie...that should've been half as long.
