Without a doubt one of the Worst Movies Ever Made

Rating: 1/10 (28 August 2004)

The film is based on the implausible premise that a contract killer would take a cab for the purpose of completing his assignments.
As if wildly contrived and convenient plot details didn't make it bad enough, the movie is poorly conceived and poorly executed. For example, in a large crowd scene set in a crowded trendy club, the blood flows and the bodies fly in a terrifying shoot out. Extras in t he background, however, play it cool as supposedly terrifying patrons who keep a tight hold on their glasses to avoid spilling there martinis. Tom Cruise looks sexy with the slick silver hair, but that's all the movie has to offer.
What's more troubling than the implausible premise and absurdly convenient coincidences is the film's less than subtle racism.
Whenever the black character played by Jamie Fox points his gun as a white face the victim's fear is played for laughs. You're not supposed to care as the many Asian patrons in a crowded nightclub are caught in the crossfire. It seems calculated to promote laughing at violence as long as the victims are different from you.
