Great thriller as well as great character study movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2020)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Collateral" (2004) serves as a very good thriller as well as good character study movie. There are two characters are its core, and they are both very interesting due to great performances and very good script.
First time i saw "Collateral" back in a year of its release. Second time was today. 16 years ago i rated it 9/10 on this page. Today, 16 years later, i would rate it same - great movie from one of my all time favorite Michael Mann. Yet this time i saw faced i did not notice 16 years ago: Mr. Mark Ruffalo & Mr. Javier Bardem - two of the greats in a supporting roles here, you can see why these actors year later went to the top.
Overall, "Collateral" is the only movie were you will see T.Cruse in a villain role. Or isn't a villain? Listening to him, you kinda starting to doubt. What a great script and great performances in a very good movie.
