Jamie Fox is really good!

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2005)

When I was returning from Australia, I looked at the TV movie guide to see what movies i was going to watch during the next 14 hours. Collateral was the best one out of all the 5 movies I watched. When I saw a preview for it, I thought it looked like crap. I usually dislike Tom Cruis' movies just because I think Tom Cruis is a bad actor. I had never even heard of Jamie Fox! Besides...with an exception of Die Hard I'm not much of an Action movie fan. So let's just say my expectations were really low. So I started watching this film and the more i watched it, the more i started to love it. I was pleasantly surprised! Even Tom Cruis had fine acting moments...but the star for me was Jamie Fox. What a performance! I hope he wins an Oscar either for this or for Ray because this was definitely his year!!! I thought this movie was very cleverly made, the script was witty and powerful. Performances were wonderful (I was actually scared of Tom Cruis!)... It was a great film and i look forward to seeing it. Maybe next time i won't be so jet-lagged! :)
