great great movie... disappointing ending

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2005)

i loved every second of this movie from start to... just before finish. Jamie Foxx is incredible at his role, as usual, and tom cruise is not much worse. the combination of two totally different people (max stops his taxi to let the fox cross the road while Vincent kills people with no remorse) makes the movie that much more interesting as the two are almost always in conflict. i also liked how the plot developed throughout the movie. in the beginning the audience had no idea why Vincent was killing those people but by the ending it was very clear. because the movie let the audience find out little by little what Vincent was doing it was much easier to not lose interest (i watched at about 1 in the morning so i needed this). Vincent's last hit also helps keep the movie very attention grabbing as he is not killing a "nobody". because i did not want this review to have a spoiler in it i will not go into the ending, but i will say this: the ending of this movie is the only reason i did not give it 10 stars.
