Next (no spoilers)

Cris Johnson (Cage) is a Las Vegas magician who actually has the ability to look into the future. Not the distant future, but one limited to two minutes ahead in time. This super ability works well when playing poker or figuring out which slot machine to pop a coin into. It’s also useful in keeping Cris out of harm’s way. He can always change his next step to avoid the bullet headed his direction or turn left instead of right to avoid a collision. It’s a sweet deal, but it has its drawbacks.

After playing a couple of hands of blackjack and netting a tidy sum of money, Cris knows it’s time to head out of the casino before the casino’s security personnel can haul him in for questioning. Cashing out, Cris stops an armed gunman who was just about to kill two casino workers, although of course he can’t explain how he knew that to the police. Escaping capture by knowing his pursuers moves before they make them, he leads the police on a crazy car chase through the streets of Vegas.

All this sets up his run-in with the FBI, which is the meat of the film. Counter-terrorist Agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) is in charge of locating a nuclear bomb somewhere in So California before it can detonate and kill millions. Ferris believes Cris is the answer to her problem of figuring where the bomb is and when it will go off.

Its an excellent movie; I went and saw it on the weekend... But, the ending sucked. It's like they wanted to make a sequel out of it, which maybe they will.

Worth watching though.
