An unforgettable, complex action thriller.

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2018)

COLLATERAL is a highly appreciable action thriller by Michael Mann. Tom Cruise is on the top of his game, and so is Jamie Foxx.
Running at 2 hours, this is a crisply edited film with a tight writing and fast pacing. There's no nudity/sexual content which is indeed a great thing. On the plus side, there are plenty of thrilling action sequences. Chases, glass-breaks, crashes and gunplay are the best done, apart from some cool fight moves as well. Music used in certain portions is effective.
The screenplay is brilliant and has all the makings of a perfect action thriller. While there is some compelling character drama, there are also a few twists which are thrown in very well. Cinematography is excellent, especially during the action sequences. Performance wise, Tom Cruise is a true winner along with Jamie Foxx; both of them have sunken their teeth into their roles and have managed to breathe lives into them.
There are plenty of moments which make this film an unforgettable masterpiece. The ending is bound to make you feel cathartic. Replete with action, drama and suspense, COLLATERAL is one of the finest works of Tom Cruise.
