Thrilling, beautiful, moving and violent. What else could you want?

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2004)

This may be Tom Cruises most brilliant roll as the cool and funny evil character who becomes friends with his hostage Jamie Foxx. The movie blends outrageous comedy with a thrilling story and so many plot twists. The incredible buddy movie concept is brought to a whole new level when this relationship between the two main characters is formed because of fear. Jamie Foxx pulls of his character as a pocrastinating cab driver who plans on starting his own business some day but frankly cannot even ask a woman out. But the real movie magic is the way that the storys collide with eachother, in more events than i can name characters stand next to eachother and don't know that they are both involved in the same plot. Its hard to explain but if you see the movie you'll know what i mean. If this movie was directed by anyone else i don't think you would get that on edge feeling that Michael Mann delivers wonderfully. This movie may be one of my alltime favorite films. I recomend it to anyone who wants to see a film that is both thrilling and gets a message across about life.
