Tom Cruise should be a villain more often!

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2005)

This film is directed by the legendary Michael Mann, and Heat being one of my favourite films I decided to see this.
I was not disappointed. The story sounds a bit plain and boring, but once you sit down and watch it the time will just fly by.
Max (Jamie Foxx) is a simple Cab Driver just trying to get by in life. Vincent (Tom Cruise) is the Hit-man, and he has one night to make five stops. Fate brings these two together, and Vincent relies on Max to take him everywhere around the city.
The violence in this movie is beautifully timed with nothing over the top. The gun effects in some places almost look real, and this is also tied in with a very unique style of filming and some beautiful aerial shots of L.A.
My credit to Tom cruise, he is a far superior bad guy. The menacing glances he gives during the film will long live into your nightmares.
Watch and enjoy, for this simple tale is not as simple as it looks.
10/10
