Review of Next

Next (2007)
6/10
Had potential to be a cult classic, not merely a forgettable action movie

Do you sometimes know exactly what you would change somewhere and KNOW that it would work better because of this? That's the explanation of my title for this comment. "Next" should have been at least 30 minutes longer, should have evolved "Cris Johnson" more (especially the introductory flashes, those were the best), should have made a much bigger emphasis on the love story and should have had a bigger or smarter action climax (the one with the nuclear bomb exploding). The idea of the story in my opinion had much more to offer than it did. This movie could have been poetic, mesmerizing and smarter..I'm talking best picture Oscar here. It wound up being a forgettable summer action flop.

It truly is a blessing finding a good movie these days.
