After seeing Minority Report, I've been thinking about it, and there's still at least one thing about it that confuses me...

SPOILER

WARNING

To disguise his identity, part way through the film, the Tom Cruise character has his eye balls replaced. The doctor tells Cruise he must keep his eyes bandaged for at least 12 hours, or he'll go blind. This is heavily emphasized. There's even a kitchen timer counting down the hours. Well, after all that foreshadowing, the inevitable occurs: A little time later, a bandage over one of his eyes is forcefully removed. The kitchen timer shows that he needed to keep the bandages on for 6 more hours. This, however, seems to have no consequence in the story.

I wouldn't mind that taking off that bandages didn't make him lose sight in that eye, in principle. Medicine is not an exact science. When I had chicken pox when I was 7 or so, I was told not to scratch, or I'd get an infection. Well, I scratched but didn't get an infection. I can believe that keeping bandages on for 12 hours is to be on the safe side, but 6 might be okay. But why emphasize that importance? The only thing I can think of is to make the scene where they try to remove the bandage a little more suspenseful.

(Then again, they establish the doctor has a reason to want revenge against Cruise, but the only payoff for that is the doctor's little prank of having spoiled food next to good food in the 'fridge for Cruise to unwittingly eat in his blindness. But don't think this is a complaint - that was just a small part of the movie and didn't need a big payoff, and that texturing did make the eyeball scene a little more interesting on its own than if they just popped-em-out-popped-em-in for the sake of forwarding the plot.)
