The Greatest Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2007)

Collateral is probably my all time favourite films. I watched this film on the plane and was thrilled to find Tom Cruise almost playing Vincent with total ease. Max is a cab driver with big dreams; one night he meets Annie a lawyer and there's definitely a spark between them both. As Max counts his earnings a man named Vincent arrives looking for a cab and leaves seeing that Max is busy; Max shouts out to Vincent and calls him in, making a big mistake; Vincent reveals he needs to make a couple of stops to close a real estate deal and soon it is revealed Vincent in fact is a contract killer. Max watches as Vincent does only what he can do best, kill, this night will change them both.
Mann shows the seedy under belly of LA; and the criminals that run it. Leave yourself on 'Cruise Control' when it comes to this film, all the characters play their part perfectly no matter how small or big; the best bit of the film is the Club Fever shoot-out. In my view this is the greatest fight scene and gun play I have ever seen, gun control by Cruise is phenomenal, he oozes coolness while shooting the Korean Gangsters; the music by Paul Oakenfold is perfect it catches the whole thrill and 'cool' of Cruise.
Overall this film can never be topped!
