much better than Cruise's last 2 films: The Last Samurai and Minority Report

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2005)

This was a pretty good film, but Michael Mann's Heat and The Insider are better. The one silly scene I can think of is the night club scene. It is so ridiculous that most everyone continues to dance and not even notice as Vincent breaks people's necks and starts shooting people.
Two of the best scenes were the jazz night club when Vincent, Max, and owner are sitting and when Max is eating in the cab and gets a sign from above. Now that made me jump.
I thought the script writer started getting lazy toward the end when it seemed like your average chase thriller once Max calls Annie to warn her.
But, I was surprised at the ending because I guessed wrong at who dies.
FINAL VERDICT: Worth watching, better than most so-called thrillers out there.
