  Review by Bryan Espitia ★★★★½ 5

  I like that there's a whole little side plot about how good Tom Cruise can run and how his son wants to learn to run like him.

  watched half of it again cause gabe had to finish it and am logging it again because there’s no rules on this site. send the future cops my way, i don’t give a fuck!!!

  Steven Spielberg's been so good for so long we take him for granted. This one more than holds up as one of his very best -- and one of Cruise's best as well. I think it might be his best performance.

  I do not care for Spielberg's 2000s visual obsession with bloom and I wish this movie was more colorful to match the genuinely goofy/slapstick sensibility it has at times (the jetpack fight, the mr. magoo-ass blind sequence in the apartment, the eyeball stuff, etc) but this movie kicks ass. A sci-fi ACAB conspiracy thriller about free will and government surveillance? C'mon. Big dunk. Even in the future, cops are just horrid and fucking terrible at their jobs. Shocked it was produced just before 9/11 because it's so eerily prescient of the things we'd all lose to 9/11 that you'd think it was part of his later trilogy of 9/11 films. Totally forgot Tim Blake Nelson was in this, what a…

  Loaded with Hitchcock references but especially to FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, and with more than just the umbrella gag. The chases have the same goofy relish, too (the jetpack hamburger gag here might as well be the old guy trying to cross the street during the car chase in CORRESPONDENT). Hitchcock's film urged the U.S. to enter the war a year before Pearl Harbor, Spielberg's warned of a society willing to give up a few civil rights for possibly illusory safety not even a year after 9/11.

  A dystopic gumshoe thriller. Its vision of the future includes animated cereal boxes, customized advertisements, and a populace always aware of their own actions. Maybe the mystery is lacking in inventiveness, but Spielberg is at the height of trying everything and anything, and pulling it off with aplomb. Hitchcock is a key influence, of course, but Spielberg's peers of De Palma and Lucas have never felt so close in competition. As an aesthetic exercise, this is just an absurd flex.

  Review by josh lewis ★★★★ 3

  the Free Will dystopia scfi novella and 50s conspiracy noir expertly woven into a pop action surveillance state thriller. spielberg's gee whiz rendering of the future (jetpacks!! eyeballs!!) lends itself well to bizarre comedy and inventive setpieces, but it's his visual sophistication when it comes to character (the formal complexity of simple gestures/interactions) that makes this so thrilling―weird how so many modern blockbusters can't seem to grasp this.
