What if you can see a few minutes into the future? Would you consider it a good deal? As I was watching the film, Next, I was wishing I had the same gift, too. In stead of just second guessing what my intuition is telling me. On the other hand, I thought it's rather a torment if ever. Imagine yourself seeing a few minutes of what's going to happen to you. Frightening.
Yes, you can change your destiny and all (like, you can sure win the lottery, right?) but wouldn't it be like a curse as well? Seeing what is about to happen to you. Like you are going to be hit by a bus or something. Don't how to handle that.
The character, Cris Johnson, has that gift since he was 3. Well, twas not anymore such a tough thing for him since he's been dealing with that gift for a long time. But, was kinda thinking how was it like during the first times he had experienced it? And at age 3!
I specifically like the choreography during the getaway scenes inside the casino. The securities kept missing him by a nanosecond. Clever!
Love the movie because it's meticulously done. Like we timed everything how he'd foreseen the future. Twas all less than 2 minutes. Well calculated. Besides the fact that I love Nicolas Cage. (Only he's received so many disparages for all the films he recently did.) Some graphics were a bit obvious, though, but it's pardonable.
