Jessica Biel puts in an Oscar worthy performance to make us believe a hot babe like her would be interested in a balding, creepy guy twice her age like Nic Cage, so give her some props.

Reviews for Next
Mullet mediocrity.
05/03/07
"What about intel?" someone asks. "We don't need it--we have HIM." You don't need to be Cage to forsee we're in for a lot of bang bang and the obligatory shooting of the black secondary character is moments away.
04/26/07
Obscurely motivated terrorists with Eastern European accents are preparing to explode a hydrogen bomb in Los Angeles.
09/22/07
Straddles a fence between adequately clever and surprisingly stupid ... but most of it is still fun anyway.
04/27/07
The best thing you can say about this blend of hard-boiled action and paranormal prescience is that it is inadvertently funny.
04/27/07
One too many scenes of people shooting guns and blowing things up.
04/27/07
Does nothing with its intriguing premise, and it's mostly just one more tedious and progressively dumb collection of Hollywood action clichés.
04/27/07
It's all complete nonsense, of course, hampered by a clunky script and Tamahori's uneven direction (which elicits unintentional laughter throughout and, unforgivably, a dull performance from Nic Cage).
09/22/07
The nadir comes when Cage is called upon to emote the look of love and instead does a dead-on impersonation of a stunned gopher
04/25/07
This one experiments with the putatively brain-frying idea of a man who can see two minutes into the future.
04/27/07
Lee Tamahori's thriller avoids all or most of the pitfalls that have ruined other time-manipulation films.
05/04/07
"Next" is implausible and leaves many questions unanswered, but the action is so spectacular and the chase sequences so slick %u2014 thanks to director Lee Tamahori's signature style %u2014 that a nutty plot is forgiven.
04/27/07
It's just a shame that none of the laughs are intentional.
04/27/07
It is so preposterous it could almost be the spoof "bad action movie" they'd keep flashing to in a Hollywood satire.
04/27/07
Not overly ambitious, Next nonetheless keeps you thinking, guessing and entertained.
04/27/07
Next might have sounded good as a concept but it bombs in execution. Maybe it should have stuck more closely to Dick's novel and incorporated more of its complexities rather than just skimming one idea off the surface.
05/11/07
Although it has some fun effects and trademark Cage zingers, Next can't overcome just how goofy, and even uninteresting, it is.
04/26/07
A sort of warm-up for the heroism of his now-filming National Treasure sequel, Next requires Cage only to look pensive and occasionally be charming.
04/30/07
For better or worse, Next always has its eye on a perky pace and the occasional bubble-gum snap of amusement.
