I didn't have any problem with the way the murder was committed in Minority Report. Had he taken the woman out of the precogs jurisdiction, he would have had to deal with a potential murder investigation. By doing it the way he did, there's no trial, therefore no investigation. Plus, his hubris would have led him to believe that he could easily fake a system that he basically controlled and created.

The only thing that troubled me plot-wise about the flick was the way Anderton's character gets into the "Temple" again and again. Initially, he makes a point of telling Witwer that no officer ever goes into the Temple because "We keep a strict separation so that no one can accuse us of tampering." Moments later, Anderton's iris scan gets him right in.
Then later in the movie, once Anderton being pursued as a pre-murderer, his irises still work to open the door. In such a high-tech world, you'd think they'd do a better job of protecting their only pre-cogs.
