Movie Review by B Movie Ben
April 6th, 2008

You can see things before they happen?

Favorite Movie Quote: "Here is the thing about the future. Every time you look at, it changes, because you looked at it, and that changes everything else."

The fact that magician Chris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) could see a couple of minutes into the future was not the most amazing thing in this movie. What completely stretched the limits of credulity was the fact that Liz Cooper (Jessica Biel) would give him the time of day. Cage may be 10 years younger than me, but he looked 10-15 years older in this movie and it just would not be possible that Cooper would be offering a ride to someone that looked like a loser.

That aside, the movie was interesting and kept you wondering what would happen next with his skill/curse. Julianne Moore (The Hours, Boogie Nights) was exceptionally good as the FBI agent trying to catch Johnson and use him to prevent a terrorist act. It might have been more useful in the movie to build a little back-story into the terrorists motivations instead of wasting the time with the highly improbably relationship between Johnson and Cooper.
