Knowing Bangkok Dangerous Paycheck Assault on Precinct 13 The Watcher
Description
Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret: he can see two minutes into the future. Sick of the government and scientific interest in his gift, he lies low in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling "winnings." But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.

Great Product BUY IT   2010-03-15
By Alex Kon (USA)
Great acting and it makes you think. I actually paid attention the whole time. That says more than U know.
Excellent movie   2010-02-10
By J. Oldham (Midland, Texas)
This is an excellent movie, and would suggest it to anyone that enjoys good movies.
Interesting for a while, then it turns into a boring action film   2010-02-06
By Filmfan (Denmark)
About 2/3 of the way through this, I thought it was interesting. Then it started to look like many other action films you have seen. I agree with the negative reviews. Cage and Moore are good actors. I think it's one of the worst films I have seen in a long time. Luckily, it was on TV. Now erased. (P.S.: People who write hateful comments should learn to spell.)
Silly but entertaining shenanigans   2010-01-02
By Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
Of course, you'll have to suspend all common sense to get through this digital effects sci-fi 'thriller,' But you'll be very entertained, even if the plot has holes like the Grand Canyon. Why do these terrorists want to nuke LA? We are not told. I guess they planned to commit suicide when the bomb goes off. Anyway, Nick Cage plays a Vegas magician with "precognition," i.e., he sees the future, but only 2 minutes ahead and only if it involves himself. Just for ha-has, they make him fall for luscious Jessica Biel, because who wants to look at balding, jowly Nick Cage for 90 minutes? He is way, way too old for Jessica, but no matter. The avalanche and the nuclear explosion look very digital, as do the many scenes of Nick melting and morphing and zigzagging backward and forward in time. Smartly, this is very quick at 90 minutes, and you won't be bored.
Needed Something More   2009-12-19
By Michael Griswold (Rockford, USA)
Next has an intriguing premise of a man who can see two minutes into the future and the FBI agents seeking out his abilities to foil a terrorist plot to blow up a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles, but as other reviewers have pointed out, there are a few plot holes that would've made this a better movie. Who are the terrorists, why are they blowing a nuclear bomb up in LA ? Without this information, all we have is Nicolas Cage and Julliane Moore running around chasing terrorists because these are bad people. As a big Jessica Biel fan, I have to ask what exactly she was doing in this film other than nearly being blown up by terrorists and having a quickie romance with Nicholas Cage...within the course of a couple of days. It felt like she was just kind of the generic good looking woman that could've been played by any number of actresses. Julliane Moore really brings it though as the hard nosed FBI agent desperate to stop terrorists from wiping out most of LA. That being said, Next has a lot of action packed into 96 minutes, so if your a fan of fast paced action and can make it beyond the delayed setup, than this movie may be just for you. I'm not sure if I would drop sixteen bucks on this, maybe find it in a $10 dollar bin at Walmart or something.
