Anderton, who has for years mourned the disappearance (and presumed death) of his young son years ago, discovers that he was manipulated into joining the department his boss, director Lamar Burgess (Max von Sydow) knew that a desire to prevent future murders like that of his child would make him an unusually loyal soldier. The visions, it turns out, can be easily twisted. The names of perpetrators and victims are printed on wooden balls that are generated by machines - almost like the results of a lottery. There is a sense of level-headed professionalism among everyone who works at PreCrime. One Precog abduction later, the duo are on the run. The only way to see if this was the case for Anderton’s “crime” is by uploading Agatha’s memories. Apparently, the oracles’ visions don’t always agree on the murders they’re seeing in those cases, the dissenting view, called a “minority report,” is discarded. The system is not as magically infallible as was originally presented. Forget shiny buildings and action-packed chases - Minority Report has both, but it has so much more, elevating it far above the status of popular pulp. There hasn't been a science fiction film this good for 20 years. Brilliantly realised, complex and humane, Minority Report is easily on a par with Blade Runner as one of the best adaptations of Philip K Dick's work ever made.
