TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

muons A clairvoyant Las Vegas magician is tracked down by an FBI agent who believes his supernatural powers and wants to use them to foil an nuclear terrorist attack in LA. The weirdness and absurdity start with this brief definition of the scenario: a nuclear attack is imminent and instead of narrowing down on the threat with all of its resources, FBI spares a good deal of his task force to go after a person whose contribution to the solution is uncertain. The magician knows FBI looks for him for help to save the lives of some 8 million people, but tries to evade them for some reason which is not clear. If this doesn't sound weird enough the bad guys also go after the magician just because FBI looks for him but without really knowing why they need to. Indeed, the plot gives no clue for what the bad guys are up to, which depicts them all as cartoonish villains. Then, Jessica Beal joins in as the beautiful face of a romantic subplot which really doesn't add much to the story. J. Beal is gorgeous to watch but way too young and fresh to make us believe that she can't do better than a middle age man with a cheaply died, scruffy and thinning hair. A movie, especially one with some flavor of metaphysics and fantasy is for entertainment purposes and cannot be expected to follow the reality. However, the plot has to be coherent even in a fantasy world to sustain the attention of the audience. Nothing makes sense in this mess of a story. The action scenes are pretty typical with a cat and mouse game inside a warehouse, guns spitting fire in dust and smoke, dead people falling off rooftops and stairs, etc. Others involving a car, rocks, debris and logs tumbling down from hilltops look nothing more than a cheap, blatant computer animation even to an untrained eye. The pace is good but the flat and unconvincing acting matches well to the ludicrous plot and the ending is utterly childish and lame.

merelyaninnuendo NextNext is smart, gripping and fun even though it may lose track for a bit and disappoint you at some points but all in all it definitely is a one time watch.

mikomdude This is possibly one of the dumbest most contrived movie plots I have ever seen... and that's coming from a guy that binge-watches shark-movies on a regular basis.All they had for this one was the idea of the two minutes of "clairvoyance". Then I guess they realized that wasn't enough to make a movie out of so... well they just threw in the most generic plot imaginable... and a nuke, I'm pretty sure there might have been a nuke involved. Not that you'd know or care by the time you finished watching the movie.The most original part was the end credits. I won't spoil what made them interesting though, something has to keep some mystery.

Neddy Merrill To the pantheon of limited practical use superpowers which includes semi-luminaries such as Aquaman, Robin, Hawkeye, Antman, etc., add Nic Cage's Chris Johnson / Frank Cadillac character. The small-time magician can see 120 seconds (give or take) into his own personal future. So could he find his car in the mall parking lot if he didn't remember where he left it? No, he has to be able to find it in the future to see himself finding it in the present looking forward. Would he have known the twist at the end of "Sixth Sense"? No, that take far more than 2 minutes to happen. Could he avoid burning the roast? No, since it take 2 hours at 425 degrees for the roast to burn, he wouldn't be able to detect that. Apparently, his second sight also can be a little fritz-y like when he needs to be told the bridge has washed out and he will need to return to a hotel 2 miles back - shouldn't he have seen that coming? So why does Julianne Moore's hard-as-nails FBI agent strap him "Clockwork Orange" style to a chair to try to predic when a nuclear bomb devastates Los Angeles and ushers in the era of Skynet? Um....not sure. At best Frank / Chris could only give them a 1 minute 55 second head start to tracking down a bomb, gaining entry to it and defusing it somewhere in LA's 5,721 square miles of traffic-clogged streets. Cage gives his Hello Kitty neutral performance but Moore belies some puzzlement over the plot. Viewers puzzle over Cage's standoffish magician beating up several burly FBI agents once freed from the Clockwork Orange chair as well as the fact that while the room he was held in was locked, the remainder of the building allows for him to saunter out unobstructed. Jessica Biel plays the hot girl who teaches underprivileged Native Americans and brings them birthday presents even when it's not her day to work. She also hooks up with a bad magician who claims super- limited clairvoyance, later sells him out to the FBI and then sells the FBI out to him all in the space of standoff with views of the Grand Canyon. She may not be particularly good at decision-making. What the movie lacks in interesting characters and dubious plotting, it also lacks in decent dialog particularly among the French-speaking bad guys who we are told early in the movie are Russians out to blow up Los Angeles. You don't expect a Cage character to do more than yell and run about but Moore's character spends the movie shouting orders menacingly - you imagine she's not much fun at the FBI offices annual holiday party. Biel's character gets no non-damsel-in-distress dialog. In short, this unintentionally funny production never lets you forget you are watching a movie.
