Collateral (2004)
Max (Jamie Foxx) has lived the mundane life of a cab driver for 12 years. The faces have come and gone from his rearview mirror, people and places he's long since forgotten...until tonight. Vincent (Tom Cruise) is a contract killer. Tonight, Vincent arrives in L.A....and five bodies are supposed to fall. Circumstances cause Vincent to hijack Max's taxicab, and Max becomes collateral—an expendable person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through the night Vincent forces Max to drive him to each assigned destination. And as the LAPD and FBI race to intercept them, Max and Vincent's survival becomes dependent on each other in ways neither would have imagined. (read more)

Michael Mann is a hack artist, but there's no denying he's a brilliant stylist. This flick -- his best yet -- is vividly alive from the get go. Tom Cruise is sharp as ever as a contract killer named Vincent who drags unsuspecting cabbie Max (Jamie Foxx) along for an all-night tour of L.A., highlighted by a series of...

Why oh why does Michael Mann do this? He takes a great movie and he quite simply ruins it with an ending. His two exceptions are THE INSIDER, which is a great movie, and ALI, which is crappy from beginning to end. But COLLATERAL, like HEAT, was a movie I enjoyed up until it came time to wrap it up. Instead of...

It occurred to me very early on in watching this film that it was meant to be watched on a great big screen and savored for its amazing shots. The whole movie is punctured by the empty feeling you get walking through a big city late at night - it feels like an eerie run-down cathedral. On top of that, the story is fine -...
