Pre crime :: a concept unheard of till the movie hit the screens in 2002... it was a stunningly well presented movie bringing to us the endless possibilities of technology working for human benefit ranging from computer technologies, virtual displays and individualized flying urban transport (like seen in 'The Jetsons' cartoon strip of the late sixties ... which today has become a reality .. the high point of the movie lay where the protagonist removes his pupils to evade identification .... a movie which was much ahead of its time and a wonderful theme which is the dream of any law abiding citizen anywhere on the face of the earth ....

It was indeed a path breaking movie in several aspects and sensitising everyone for the first time to the extreme fantasies and horrors of technology that maybe day overtake us.... indeed proving true by the recent FB data theft. However it's still a long long way to go before the machines overcome us.....

A well known story, retold through the medium of cinema with extraordinary brilliance. The magic of cinema gets a rebirth which is sheer visual delight in all aspects be it cinematography for its unusual angles, incredible closeups, sharpness of images due to immaculate exposure or the high drama the films succeeds in peaking at the appropriate times, the exemplary performance of Ranveer Singh essaying the role of Allaudin Khiji and the near perfect sound recording which has set new benchmarks. Sanjay Leela Bhansali may go down in history as the Ridley Scott or Mel Gibson of Indian cinema for successfully portraying mega canvases. May his tribe increase

Absolutely great. One of the best martial arts movies set in a realistic background unlike the many in the genre. Possibly the next best after "Enter the Dragon". A golden blend of martial arts and drama. Donnie Yen is outstanding as a true master - skilful and composed, worthy traits of a martial arts exponent.
