Great acting, good story, nice music

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

I went with a friend last night to see Collateral. I really did not expect to enjoy the movie since I am not a huge fan of Cruise or Foxx. I was drawn into the movie without even realizing it. It was fantastic. Foxx as a drama actor is outstanding. I even caught myself rooting for Cruise to finish the job. By the end of the movie I was a nervous wreck waiting to see what was going to happen. The movie was great and the storyline was great. The only two things I did not like were: SPOILERS AHEAD
1. What happened to the FBI and the Police after the Fever scene? All of a sudden they just stop looking? Didn't they anticipate going to the Prosecutor's office? Just felt like a big hole there.
2. I really did feel the the ending needing something more. I felt worn out and disappointed during the last few minutes.
By far, one of the best movies this year. Jada Smith was also enjoyable in the movie. Believable as an attorney as she is spilling her heart out to Max in the cab.
All in all - see it!
