Next [2007]

A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack. - IMDB

The magician named Cris Johnson played by Nicholas Cage is able to see into the 2 minutes into the future, which makes him the perfect candidate for the job of tracking down a nuclear bomb that is located somewhere in the United States. He runs into problems that he solves with his strange ability.

There are some neat visual effects that accompany the being able to see into the future as well as a few make you think moments that made the movie worth wile watching. Most people know that I am not a big fan of Nicholas Cage, even thought he lands a lot of big rolls in big movies. Due to the fact that the movie was started as a Novel and then turned into a screenplay the storyline was well drawn out, and they left the ending open for a sequel.

Defiantly a good watch, even if you are a major Nicholas Cage hater. That was the only draw back to the movie.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violent action, and some language.

8.5/10 (Lost 1 Point for Cage)
