Movie: Minority Report
Basic Plot: Tom Cruise is a cop who works in the Future Crimes Division where (obviously) future crimes are seen by three weird kids that hang out in a pool all day.
I'm Okay With: The fact that you can arrest someone for a crime that hasn't actually happened, who's to say they wouldn't change their mind at the last second when they realize what they are doing? The fact that it is not a crime that the three kids who can see into the future are drugged and forced to sit in a pool all day against their will. The fact that the futuristic roadways look more like deathtraps than they do a safe way to get to work. The fact that Tom Cruise's character is addicted to drugs and has been for a long time and not a single one of his co-workers notices.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that TC's character's retina scan still works when he breaks into the Police Station after having been accused of a future murder. Think about that. TC is on the run because his fellow police buddies think he is going to kill a guy and yet they don't bother to erase his security clearance which allows him into the most secure room in city (possibly the country). You know, the room with three kids who can see into the fucking future. Sure, the police were probably thinking that there is no way this guy would show his face around considering he is a wanted man and there are a ton of scanners around looking for him. But they also know that you can get your eyes taken out and replaced with another set just so you can evade said scanners. So, why did they keep TC's retina data on the security clearance list and not on the "Sound An Alarm If These Eyes Show Up" list? I am not okay with that.
