Overview

Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name 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.

Viewing Notes

Went back to my hometown to help my parents prepare for their garage sale (and drag some of my junk out of storage for it). Took a couple a library holds with me to keep me company. First up was the Nicolas Cage thriller Next (2007), which I didn’t even know existed until recently. Here he’s a Vegas magician that can see the future… only 2 minutes ahead. Yes, it’s that kind of film. Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel (still hot) also star in this kinda okay thriller.
