Tom Cruise beyond redemption

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2004)

Tom Cruise is Vincent, a hit man who through a traumatic childhood failed to develop some elements integral in most humans. He hires Max, a taxi driver, to drive him around LA to do contract killings. For 12 years Max has been lying to himself about taxi driving part time while saving up money to start a limousine company.
This is a good film. Vincent has greyish beard and hair and is very brutal. He is not to be saved, but the film leaves us with hope that dawn finds Max to be an improved and upgraded man.
Michael Mann has directed a movie with an existential theme.
Tom Cruise sements his place as Hollywoods Nr1.
