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.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

A very generic film for such an interesting concept. I think this film was put out around the time when people still considered Nick Cage action films a worthwhile watch. Whatever.

Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) is cheesy Vegas magician Frank Cadillac. In his spare time, he wins small amounts at the casinos. He does this by seeing into the future by about two minutes. FBI agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) is tracking him hoping to use his skills for the government especially with a stolen Russian nuke on the loose in L.A. Cris uses his power to woo stranger Liz Cooper (Jessica Biel) who has a special connection and affect on him.The idea is intriguing and the movie does it well at times. It works to some extend until it does one of the worst cheating ending ever. There are problems even before the ending. It's the little things like Nick Cage's stringy long hair. It would be great to have an opening exposition of Cris' powers during his childhood. His 36 consecutive hours story is a good one to do. Jessica Biel is hot but him sleeping with her so quickly cheapens their connection. It's got good and bad until the ending. The end is simply a cheat.

I have been meaning to review this film for a while so why not review it.Next was quite the film when I first sit down to watch it the film did star Jessica Biel one of my favorite actresses but the film has a lot going for it then most people would give it credit for.The film itself feature a lot that you would enjoy about a thriller action movie, clever story with special effects and the plot is one you have to play close attention to or you'll be lost.Next centers around The F.B.I. lead by Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) go on the hunt for a Las Vegas Magician Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) who has the gift to see two minutes into his future. But when he finally meets this woman he sees in his visions he can see further into the future the woman is Liz Cooper (Jessica Biel) the F.B.I. Believes he can help them prevent a Nuclear attack from a man named Mr.Smith (Thomas Kretschmann).What makes the movie interesting is the plot is original and will have your attention from the start of the film. That's what I like about the film and why I watch it in the first place.The characters are interesting enough to watch on screen along with Biel, Moore, and Cage giving some strong acting for the film as they are the key stars of the film. Along with the special effects being well done and timed to match the story.Next just has so much going for it and it's hard not to sit down and enjoy it as long as you have a opening mind, Next does award you with all you could ask for in a thriller action film.With strong performances by Jessica Biel, Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore, intense story and interesting plot twists you will be glad you watch this filmI give Next an 9 out of 10

'Next' has a potentially fun gimmick that is completely wasted thanks to its ham-fisted script and sloppy directing. It doesn't take long for the plot holes to pile up, and because the payoff is so weak I wasn't willing to overlook them.I can't even begin to describe how creepy Nicholas Cage is in this movie. He looks like he's got a perpetually wet rodent stapled to his head and his attempts at being romantic gave me a full body cringe. Jessica Biel's best acting is kissing Cage without vomiting into his mouth.Dumb, lazy, half-hearted shrug of a movie isn't worth your time.
