6. ‘Minority Report’ (2002)

You wouldn’t necessarily think of Spielberg as the director to realize Philip K. Dick’s paranoid vision of a future where cop Tom Cruise arrests murderers before they kill, until he himself becomes the suspect in a pending homicide. But Spielberg turns out to be thoroughly at home in this gritty sci-fi noir, full of moral dilemmas and hair’s-breadth escapes. This movie solidifies Spielberg as the best action movie director alive.
