in re-watching this movie, my initial evaluation was turned on its head. originally, i had previously glossed over the film as only above average summer fare. i've decided that i was wrong. the movie is not only entertaining but also scary, intelligent, surprising, and wonderfully constructed. plus it co-stars tom cruise's forehead vein, which has never been displayed so prominently or vividly. i've elevated minority report to my "best of the best summer blockbusters" list. the combination of philip k dick, spielberg and cruise won me over.the role of agatha (played by samantha morton), the female precog, was originally offered to cate blanchett and jenna elfman. jenna elfman turns down movies? really?

yes! we can agree again. i've watched this movie at least like 3 times i think. i was actually a little confused after seeing it in theaters cuz i was expecting a summer blockbuster but instead it was kind of a psychological/philosophical "what if" scifi thriller. i think it wasn't a smash hit because it was too intelligent for a summer movie.
