Jason Stathams Coolest Action Movie Team-Up Happened 20 Years Ago (But With A Twist)

Tom Cruise & Jason Statham's brief scene in Collateral left fans wanting more from these action stars. Collateral's opening scene hints at a crossover with Statham's Transporter character as part of Cruise's criminal plan. Fans hope to see Statham and Cruise reunited on screen despite their busy schedules in the action genre.
Although Tom Cruise and Jason Statham shared the screen once before in 2004s Collateral, this team-up only left viewers wishing for more. Collateral is a propulsive crime thriller starring Tom Cruise as a cold, calculated hitman who hires Jamie Foxxs beleaguered taxi driver as his chauffeur for the night. Over the course of a long, tense evening, Cruises killer dispatches witnesses for a trial one by one as Foxxs terrified hostage ferries him from place to place. Collateral is one of director Michael Manns best movies, a stylish neo-noir that sees Cruise play against type as a ruthless villain.
