Solid thriller - a simply cracking taxi ride!

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2006)

"Collateral" is a very successful thriller. Michael Mann directs with flair, not leaving any opportunity to milk the plot for tension and suspense.
As you'd expect, Cruise and Foxx are a great double-act - the on-screen chemistry is electrifying.
For me, this film confirms that Jada Pinkett Smith is one of the most watchable actresses in Hollywood today. She sizzles in "Collateral" as the sexy lawyer, Annie.
Action-man Jason Statham also has a "blink or you'll miss him" part in this movie.
Night-time Los Angeles looks beautiful in this film. Mann makes you feel like you're caught up in the action. You can taste the atmosphere.
In a word, excellent.
