Collateral: 5/10

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2004)

I agree with a few other comments that this movie doesn't quite fill a good niche, and tries to be a blend of everything, which isn't always a good thing. Despite a few people finding parts of it unpredictable, I felt the storyline was much more predictable than others seem to lead on, as long as you pay attention. The bottom line was it wasn't a movie you talk about with your friends afterwards, asking about parts of the movie. It's not a movie that gives you something to think about later (other than discourage you from becoming a cab driver, if you ever thought of becoming one). It's about as enjoyable as a rerun of a good TV show; and let's face it, if I wanted that, I wouldn't go out to the movies and pay for it.
