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, The Illusionist) that he can see in his future--much
further in his future than he's ever seen before. Next 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. --Bret Fetzer
