Minority Report

As a film, this short story would be a suspensful thriller! I have not seen the film yet, but in order for the story to be a good feature length film, the writers would need to expand on a few things. I think one of the things that should be elaborated on more are the relationships present in this story. The relationship between John and Ed should be elevated and the relationship between John and his wife. I think that including more about these relationships would add more suspsense and emotion to the film. In this story, it is suspected that Ed is framing John for murder and John's wife is helping him. The viewers interests and suspense would be heightended, and a more emotional response would be given (when the suspects are revealed) if they saw and knew more about their relationships. I would also like to any possibility of a secret relationship between Ed and John's wife. This may or may not be true, but this kind of information would only add to the mysteries!

I also think that that some other roles from this story should be elaborated on a bit more. After he is kidnapped from his house, John meets a series of people (that all have to do with what is happening). In order to create more suspence and expectancies for these new characters, more information about them should be provided. This will only give the viewer reason to think one or more of them is framing John, or lure them under false pretences. The new information will stir up the viewers emotions and create scenarios for what might happen!
