Product Description

Review

In Michael Mann's cinematic universe, the good guys and the bad guys are clearly defined. The catch is that the good guy discovers that very little separates him from the bad guy. This conflict was at the heart of Mann's best films (Heat and Manhunter), and it plays itself out again in Collateral, where Jamie Foxx's everyman taxi driver discovers how hitman Tom Cruise's practical nihilism offers him a way out of the rut in which he finds himself. The action and suspense sequences are taut, and Mann sets the sequences up with such economy that those familiar with the genre may giggle with joy at the artistry on display. This being a Mann film, the action slows in order for the characters to engage in philosophical discussions. While it is fun to watch Tom Cruise play against type, Jamie Foxx is the heart and soul of this movie. During a very entertaining opening act in which Foxx flirts with a high-powered lawyer played by Jada Pinkett Smith, the actor deftly reveals a variety of aspects about the character, all the while remaining entirely believable. This opening sequence is so good, it helps sell the rest of the film because the audience is with Foxx from the get-go. In other hands, this script might have come off as just another run-of-the-mill psychological thriller, but the movie is elevated by confident direction, a fantastic look, and a noteworthy lead performance. Collateral is not the best Michael Mann film, although it is arguably his most representative. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars A smart, entertaining thriller, Dec 28 2004
By Sweet JC (Canada) - See all my reviews
Michael Mann's 'Collateral' is one of my favourite films of 2004, along with Kill Bill' Vol 2. It's a sleek, smart thriller, and doesn't pretend to be anything more. It accomplishes what it sets out to do magnificantly. The acting, writing, and directing are all excellent. Jamie Foxx shows his considerable talent as an actor, and Tom Cruise is solid in a role you wouldn't expect from him.

All-in-all, there is no reason you shouldn't enjoy watching this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best movie Michael Mann ever made, Feb 5 2008
By Terence Tan Co "tetsuo79" (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is saying a lot but I really really like this movie.

For me to rate it a five, it has to really impress me, this is probably the best movie in Michael Mann's and Tom Cruise's career. Not only is it excellent cinematographically, but also the acting and character interplay is quite excellent but the movie has actually something to say(listen well to the banter between Tom Cruise and the cab driver throughout the movie). The ending is also quite nice tying in to what happens in the beginning of the movie. The action scenes are excellent and the commenatary is OK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great action/drama that stays cool under heat., Dec 25 2004
By A Customer
Michael Mann has directed many great movies but this one to me is the best so far. Maybe because of the fact that the characters and moral have essence to them or that it has a jazzy, cool style to it.

Tom Cruise is at the top of his game and plays a character new to his fans: "The Bad Guy".He plays a hitman named Vincent who is vicious at work but remains calm when not.But the true star is Jamie Foxx who brings one of the best performances of his career so far (next to his role in RAY). The DVD is amazing and the extra stuff just sweetens the deal. Definetly worth it!
