Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review The weirdness of actor Nicolas Cage and the weirdness of science-fiction author Philip K. Dick seem like a natural fit. The premise, taken from a short story by Dick, is a good one: A mediocre Las Vegas magician named Chris Johnson (Cage) can see into the future--but only about two minutes at the most. Just enough to pull off his act and to make some money at the gambling tables, so long as he's discreet. Unfortunately, he hasn't been discreet enough; a government agent (Julianne Moore) has sussed out his precognitive talent and wants to use him to track down terrorists. But all Johnson cares about is a beautiful young woman (Jessica Biel, IThe Illusionist/I) that he can see in his future--much further in his future than he's ever seen before. pINext/I has flashes that point to a much, much better movie than it turned out to be. A sequence in which Johnson, clairvoyantly explores all the different permutations of how he might approach his mystery woman is both funny and thought-provoking, and when Johnson avoids pursuers by knowing just the right moment to turn a corner or duck his head, it's smart and suspenseful. Unfortunately, the terrorist part of the plot is utterly perfunctory and precognition is reduced to an action movie gimmick. Somewhere in there is the kernel of a romantic comedy about precognition that's just waiting to be made. Cage gives a solid if unsurprising performance, Moore is basically earning a paycheck, but Biel is unexpectedly good (and her part is considerably better-written than your usual romantic interest); her performance suggests a better future than anyone might have predicted.

Dick, this is a good action flick with a little brain-use thrown-in(unfortunately-rare for this genre) br /Cage plays a A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future and is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack. br /I won't spoil it by revealing too much of the plot(unlike some here, shame on you) but, suffice to say, Cage turns-in a solid performance as the tortured guy with a talent who's sick of everyone getting involved in his life. br /Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel also turn-in good performances. br / br /This is a gem amongst action films that didn't get the attention it deserved on theatrical release, thanks to poor promotion and marketing. br / br /Rent it, turn-on your brain and enjoy.
