Way better than a 7.5!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2019)

This movie is highly underrated. It is a short quick story. The movie collateral self title says it all. It's a story about a thrill ride on a one night adventure. This movie came out in 2004 . It's hard to believe based on the quality of this picture it's been that long ago. Tom cruises performance was impeccable. He plays a super ex KGB assasin of some sort trained to kill who Jamie foxes character accidentally picks him up in his cab while driving the night shift. Jada Pickett Smith is also in this movie who plays the woman district attorney. In a nutshell a series of events happen in the course of one night. Michael Mann is the dietcetor and I highly recommend you watch 'Heat' or 'Miami Vice' before hand so to understand his directing style before watching this film. The music is also very good and it's a thrill to watch to say the least . Definitely my favorite Tom Cruise movie seriously. I'm not a huge Cruise fan anyhow maybe Top Gun or born on the Fourth of July. Jamie Fox is also a favored actor of mine. Jada is good as well very hot in this movie . Typical Michael Mann co stars for sub plots . A must see !
