OMG! All of it was amazing and throughout the film I didn't know what was going to happen. I really like the plots though here, I am going give my personal review about the subject, Pre-cime (arresting someone before they commit the crime). You can skip it here:

I would personally think that the subject should not be used in the future if the future would happen to end this way. This is because, they would not technically have proper evidence, or if people with inhuman powers to predict the future, and that was evidence, then I would disagree because of these reasons:

They haven't already commited a break against the law, so I personally would not count this as breaking the law, because of what others believe.

I also believe that the actions of seeing the future, then preventing it, means that the source is unreliable, because what they have seen hasn't happened yet.

And finally, the way that true crime treats the pre-cogs I personally find horrible.

Some questions that I would ask to others who have seen this film is:

Do you think the police have these rights to arrest people in such a way is propper,

And what would you do if you were placed in Anderton's position?

The film is set in 2054, in the pre-crime experiment sector in Washington D.C., where you meet John Anderton (Tom Cruise) who is the head of pre-crime, an organisation who prevent future crimes.

After introduced to a new and high priority murder, very close to the time it should happen, John becomes stressed, because there has never been a murder in a multitude of years.

He and his team are provided this information by mysterious people called pre-cogs, these include two twins, and the strongest pre-cog: Agatha.

However, when John is convicted for a crime, he goes on an adventure to prove his innocence, where he will have endure extreme pain, and meet the creator of the pre-cogs, to prove the pre-cogs wrong!

I hope you will enjoy this film as much as I have,

Joe.

Thank you.
