Michael Mann gives new definition to the word cruise.

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2004)

This movie was unbelievably thrilling while maintaining a believable tale. Tom Cruise's (Vincent) dialogue was so charismatic it will leave audiences rooting for the bad guy. The character Vincent is a socio-path, who's erratic but fascinating philosophies pave wave for his justified views on death and destruction. This movie in a way parodies Tom Cruise's scientologist beliefs. Don't forget Jamie Fox. His character, Max adds a hilarious insecure sensibility on every issue. The intensity is always in the red and the action is sensational. Who would have thought the collaboration between these two actors would be so functional. I hope Tom Cruise will finally get his shot at an Oscar come March. If you have a chance to see this in theaters take it, but be cautioned of its violence and abstract morale.
