So here's my question. Scroll your mouse over to read:

The movie's plot hinges upon the fact that Lamar Burgess (Max Von Sydow), John Anderton's boss, frames Anderton by paying a criminal to pose as his son's kidnapper. My question is, after recruiting the guy and setting him up in that hotel room, how could Burgess be sure that Anderton would find him and kill him? Anderton is led to that hotel based solely upon the material from Agatha's psychic vision, and is given no other information about the case. Burgess seems to be making a pretty big assumption if he figures that simply hiring an impostor will affect the future enough to lead to a vision in one of the pre-cogs, in the absence of any other clues that might lead Anderton in the desired direction.

Anyway, that's my one objection. By the way, that "scroll over to read" thing is pretty cool, huh? Check out the source code to see how I did it.
