crowbar-53589 I know this movie has been out forever but I just rewatched it again and can't atay quiet. The plot is riddled with holes. Just dumb. Horrible movie

kevinruben Collateral is Michael Mann in top form. Using the vast arms of the city of Los Angeles, except not in sunny daylight but at midnight Collateral is an awesome thriller. Tom Cruise plays Vincent- a hired assassin- who hires a taxi driven by Jamie Foxx- to kill pre-chosen candidates. The cinematography and mood is excellent as are the action sequences. Tom Cruise is in fine form playing against type and is ably assisted by Jamie Foxx. This is an un-miss able delight.

ComedyFan2010 I definitely enjoyed this movie. It keeps you on the edge and doesn't make you want to stop watching. It's one problem is that it doesn't make sense. Besides the fact that hitman Vincent takes the same cab his last victim just took there is also the fact that Vincent seems to do everything that will make it hard for him to keep it low and stay anonymous. What hitman would kill a guy right in front of the cab driver? And then go riding with the same driver to the other murder destinations? One would think he would go, do his job, return to the cab quietly without making Max suspicious. Then get out and take another driver getting lost in this huge city. I can tell myself that this is because Vincent is an overconfident sociopath but he does it for a living, he should know better.Still, I can overlook this problem since otherwise the movie is really good. It is filmed in a pretty stylish way. I keeps one exciting. It has some amazing and creative scenes and ideas. And the acting is top level. I loved Tom Cruise as a villain. It is different from his typical role and he was great at it. Jamie Foxx was also showing us his amazing talent. The dynamic between the characters is great. Vincent has this cruel power that we can see Max is feeling. He is a villain that is different from the ones we know and while we never really get to know who he is he seems to have many character levels. Max on the other hand shows us how he feels under the pressure of this extraordinary client. Him not knowing what to do in this situation and how it leads to the actions towards the end of the movie.Really good job, I am sure glad I chose this movie to watch today. One of the better thrillers I have seen lately.

parameswaranrajendran Collaterall - First time watching Tom Cruise in white hair and he is donning an antagonist role in this film. I am not sure how I can miss this movie since being his fan. Jamie Foxx played a cabbie role with taking control the climax. A thriller ride movie from veteran director Michael Mann in 2004.
