Old Wu wasted a good subject...
It was originally a very good subject... Unfortunately the positioning of the film is too weird... Obviously it should be an interlocking drama... But it has to be made into an action movie... There
is also a problem in the plot...

The future has changed when you see the future
I saw this film around 2004, and I didn't feel anything at the time. I thought the plot was okay.
I had nothing to do today during the holiday, and I just watched this film on "A Date with a Good Film", so I watched it again.
Although as a commercial film, this film still has a good viewability,...

[Michael and Rachel have entered the inner sanctum, where the computer is which, presumably, Michael designed or reverse-engineered]
Michael Jennings: Let's take a look at the future before we destroy this thing.
[Jennings looks intense, then smiles as he discovers that he innately knows how to place his fingers and palms on the devices. But his smile turns to a frown as he discovers the same virus message that Brown has been receiving: ERROR - 41. He taps at some controls, then whispers:]
Michael Jennings: I bugged it! I rigged it, so Jimmy wouldn't use it against me.
Rachel Porter: Then you can fix it, right?
[He sighs and climbs down into the engineering section]
Michael Jennings: Where would I have planted that bug? Maybe I wanted the motherboards. Whoa! Whoa!
[He sees that Rachel has picked up a monkey wrench]
Michael Jennings: We won't be needing this, okay? You're dangerous with that thing!
[He seizes the monkey wrench and tosses it away onto the ground. Rachel's fingers curl against her bosom]
Rachel Porter: You must have given yourself something to help you find it.
Michael Jennings: I know. The only things left would be are the bullet and the, this.
Rachel Porter: The crossword?
Michael Jennings: Yeah!
Michael Jennings: [He studies it] Look at this: 12-Down.
[the clue is circled in ink and it reads: Used for changing connections in a circuit]
Michael Jennings: Maybe it's here.
Michael Jennings: [He counts circuits until he comes to the twelfth] Maybe it's a circuit diagram? I wouldn't have put it in the primary path. Twelve down.
[By placing the crossword puzzle over the grid, he discovers the bug; and he looks at Rachel with sly pride. They grin at each other. The virus warning turns into a pleasing display on the screen]
Michael Jennings: [In another room, Rethrick has been spying on them and has followed their progress]
Jimmy Rethrick: Take 'em.
Wolfe: Okay, Corridor 3, Level A: Jennings' lab.
[Rethrick arms his pistol and starts walking]

Michael Jennings: Oh, my God, it's the future. The machine predicts a war - and we go to war to avert it. It predicts a plague - we herd all the sick together, create a plague. Whatever future this predicts, *we* make happen. We give over control of our lives completely. I did this... Seeing the future will destroy us.
Michael Jennings: If you show someone their future, they have no future. You take away the mystery, you take away hope.
Michael Jennings: I have to go back. I have to destroy that machine.
