i laughed for the better part of the movie

Rating: 2/10 (6 November 2013)

The only thing that really stuck in my memory about Collateral is the suit Tom Cruise was wearing. Actually, i bought a similar one some time down the line.
The movie has an intriguing start yet quickly proves to be a poor script backed by substantial budget. Or maybe i had too high expectations... Anyhow, i quickly forgot that i'm watching what should be a suspenseful thriller and perceived it as bad comedy. I laughed through the rest of the movie which might have disturbed the other viewers in the theater. Sorry about that.
Jamie Foxx offers his standard performance and saves the world from Tom Cruise. The latter had one of those roles that should display his skills but are superfluous due to poor script, unlike in, for example Minority Report (2002). Jada Pinkett Smith was there, as well, but was a side role, in true sense of the word.
