***What if everything’s not just meaningless chance?*** A disillusioned professor in the Boston area (Nicolas Cage) acquires a document that has successfully predicted tragedies for the last fifty years, but new ones as well (!).

The directing by Alex Proyas is well-executed, creating an eerie, unsettling atmosphere that keeps things engaging. Visually, the...
