Next: In next two minutes you will finish reading this post

Well, next is a movie about Cris Johnson aka 'Frank Cadillac' (Nicolas Cage), who has the ability to see what is going to happen with him in next two minutes. But something strange happens when he is around this mysterious girl Elizabeth 'Liz' Cooper (Jessica Biel). The twist to the story is a nuclear weapon which has been smuggled into United States and terroists are targeting to blow it in LA. An FBI agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) tries to utilize Cris' power to see the future to stop this catastrophe. The ending of the movie is unexpected and unusual. Wouldn't want to be guilty of exposing the ending here.

Nicolas Cage is getting old, Jessica Biel is beautiful and Julianne Moore looks great as an FBI agent, all other character are not very important. The idea is new, and have been presented decently. Writing screenplay to such an script is really a tough job and you can not question the author, when you feel like at couple of occasions. Cris' escape from casino and his escpe attemt form motel are shot and edited brilliantly. You actually realise that this guy is seeing what's coming.

Overall the movie gets 6 out of ten. Worth a watch.

Disclaimer: Do not use your brain unless required while watching the film.
