"Next" is a pretty simple movie made interesting only because of the frequent use of flash-backs and flash-forwards as a result of the unusual yet amazing talent of its main character Cris played by Nicolas Cage. Therefore: the movie does have a few surprises and, against all odds, the ending is quite nice too.
All characters in this movie as well as the acting performances are pretty lame but never truly bad. Which is why this movie is nothing more than a good popcorn flick.
Jessica Biel is beautiful as always, but unfortunately she provides little else. Nicolas Cage is good too although his character could've easily been a member of the X-men.
In short: a lifeless movie which becomes, oddly enough, exciting because of its clever shifting between past, present and future.
