Max is doomed! (spoilers)

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2005)

Felix thinks that Max is Vincent. When Max leaves the meeting with Felix, Felix tells his associate that if 'anything goes wrong, kill him.' Well, if Felix thinks that Max is Vincent, and Jada's character lives, then isn't Max doomed to be murdered by Felix? Vincent never got to finish his assignment. Felix thinks that Max is the hit man that's working for him, and Felix makes it very clear that if the job isn't done right, then Vincent will be killed. If Felix thinks that Max is Vincent, he'll go after Max. Therefore, Max now has the life expectancy of a housefly. So, no chance of a Collateral II. Beyond that, I personally thought this was one of the best movies of 2004. Tom Cruise doesn't normally play dark characters, and I thought Jamie Foxx had some really great lines (What? I don't know any Rwandans!) I also think the music helped a great deal in establishing that "up-all-night" atmosphere that Michael Mann was going for.
