fine film

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2004)

I don't have much time today, so I'll just say I LOVED the movie, but was annoyed at the not-so-subtle product placement for Bacardi Silver and Mercedes. Gratuitous shots of the advertisement on top of the cab were way too blatant for me. I know other movies use product placement as well, but they tend to do it in such a way that we don't even notice. Otherwise I thought it was a well-made flick but that just took it down a notch on the class level. Loved Tom and Jamie's performances as well. I was surprised at how well Jamie Foxx switched from comedy to drama. Also it was refreshing to see Tom Cruise as the bad guy for once. 8/10.
