Michael Mann's "Collateral" is one of the greatest crime thrillers in the history of cinema!

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2014)

Normal life can change in one incident, which is why it must be enjoyed every day. Michael Mann directs a horrifyingly intense crime thriller that has a deep reflection on enjoying life and the theme of chance. Jamie Foxx stars as a nerdy cab driver named Max who is a simple man with big dreams. He lives a routine life by driving a cab and being a nice guy. However, when the slick and cold-hearted hit-man named Vincent (Tom Cruise)enters a cab and forces Max to make five spots to kill people, the morals and nature of both their lives are drastically changed. The men encounter Vincent's spots that can end well or sometimes lead into close calls. Max gets very frustrated with Vincent's violence, and is tested morally. Michael Mann gives such an energy and kinetic, vibrate feel to this film. Even though the two men drive around for a while, there is still that uncertain intensity that can lead in any direction. With one of the best ending sequences of all time, and rich character development that will toy with your feelings, you won't be bored a second in "Collateral." Rich acting by Foxx and Crusie who represent the good and bad and show how extremely similar and different the two sides are, and the important themes of living the best you can are experienced to somewhat reflect how we are important people no matter what paths or choices you take. Spectacular filming, intense as hell sequences, and and overall monumental thriller!
