Lee Tamahoris ludicrous thriller is as straggly and ill judged as Cages rotten crop.

Cages psychologically detailed rendering of a screenwriters gimmick premise gives Next whatever truthfulness it has.

A routine action film with strange bits of surreal time flopping mixed in.

Cage is cool, quiet and a touch melancholy as Johnson carrying the burden of his gift with a brooding brow and a ready punch line.

Not a bad film if you can overlook the basic silliness of the plot.

Slickly produced but much ado about nothing, Next keeps ones interest, only to laugh in your face for caring.

It missteps from time to time with its narrative and tone, while also stumbling badly at the conclusion.

Tamahori and the phalanx of writers implode Dicks intriguing premise into a pedantic thriller.

Not overly ambitious, Next nonetheless keeps you thinking, guessing and entertained.
Sign On Sandiego

Philip K. Dick is credited as the source of the film. That poor giant of SciFi has been more abused posthumously than anyone else of his genius.
