This adaptation of the Stephen King classic is one of the better remakes of his books. Christopher Walken is in this movie. Enough said. He is an excellent actor, and this performance is no different. He plays Johnny Smith, who after a terrible accident, can see the future. Sounds cool. In some ways, it is. He helps solve murders, but then he foresees the end of the world. Now what does he do, stop it or let life run it's course? If you've seen this movie and like it, I also recommend the TV series with Anthony Micheal Hall. There are a few things that are different in the series such as they made Sara's son also Johnny's son, and I don't believe it's as good as the movie, but it's still good entertainment.
This is the first movie inspired by the book. The movie is over twenty years old but still very entertaining. The question ask, "if you could kill Hilter before he came to power should you?" Johnny Smith can see past, present and somtimes the future. All it takes is one touch. With this great power comes great responsablity. John slowly becomes more skilled and see the fate of the world rests on him. If you have not seen this movie, it is one of the better films around.
The movie has action, suspense, and great acting. My whole family likes it, and we have different tastes.

Great Stephen King thriller that mimics today's politics. Martin Sheen's portrayal of Greg Stilltson, running for Senator with Presidency in mind, is a scary example of what realism is all about. The movie parallels real life of a loose cannon in Washington. Like the VP said in the movie "God help us."
