Michael Mann delivers again

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2004)

I think that "Collateral" is a milestone in the evidence that Jamie Foxx is moving to more serious things. It is amazing how Michael Mann (director) still continues to deliver, a full 9 years since my second favorite movie, "Heat". Jamie Foxx, in the way he went from comedy roles to serious roles, is starting to remind me of Jack Lemmon or Tom Hanks. This movie also shows how Tom Cruise is an astonishing performer (The first time I was impressed by him was in "Rain Man"). I must also give credit to "Animal House"'s Bruce McGill and Jada Pinkett-Smith who both gave very convincing performances. Last, but not least, Mark Ruffalo is continuing his hit streak which started with "The Last Castle" (I say this because it was the first movie I saw which featured him).
