Collateral, What a Cool Movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2005)

This movie is about a guy who rides around in a taxi all night, killing people. Michael Mann comes up with some astonishing ideas. Tom Cruise, as a gray haired man, who murders people for a living, is really spectacular. The graphic nature of this movie is somewhat better than most action films of our day.
The scripting was very good also, in that it follows through and never, never, slows down. That is something I like about good films. They are fast, and they get the job done.
The cabbie, Max, played here by Jamie Foxx delivers a stupendous role as the man who must drive Tom (Vincent) around to the murders. Until Max learns that Vincent has plans to kill the woman who Max has feelings for.
Maybe I am telling too much, but if you want to see a fast paced action/thriller, this is the one for you. I give it 10 of 10.
