Miami Vice meets Tom Cruse via Hitchcock

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2004)

The story is very strong, and has the Michael Mann "You belong to the city" feel for it. Tom Cruse is the lesser of two lead actors in order to fit the role of Vincent. Tom, if I can call him that like I really know him, is a high mileage actor. Tom is good at his trade, but after using up similar characters over the years needed to re-invent the Tom Cruse persona. Maybe, next movie one might see an even darker Tom; (AKA a Nazi in a war movie, or as a evil spirit in a haunted house)only Tom will know. "Collateral" has a Miami Vice or Heat feel that mixes a Alf Hichcock story with plot twists to it. A great date movie, when I was 17 or 21 and dating say my wife, as the girl friend of course, this movie would be great. Too be fair I need to watch this movie another time to give it a accurate rating, but I would tell everyone to go see it at the Drive In or Theater before Collateral is ready for on demand or DVD rental. 7 or 8 out of 10. Tom email me and tell me what your going do next I am excited.
