| One of the Best movies I've seen this year
Who would have ever thought that Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise would be an on screen duo? Well it has happened in fine fashion. Michael Mann's articulate direction and his obsession with nitetime LA have made this film fast paced an smooth looking. The basic plot revolves around Foxx as a cabbie who catches a stroke of bad luck by acquiring Cruise as a passenger. Cruise turns out to be a hit-man who is picking people off as his temporary employer sees fit. A wild ride through LA's nightlife gives way for a journey of self-realization for Foxx (whom dreams of his own limo company and tropical islands). The slick script and sophistication of the plot and character development always keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Although this movie has received good ratings, I feel that the film is slightly overlooked. Collateral serves as a great model for how thrillers should be made, and it delivers a great breakthrough performance by Foxx. Well Done!

Quotes

Vincent: You OK?
Airport Man: Yeah, I'm fine mate, don't worry about it.

Goofs

At the start of the movie, an arguing couple is driven in the taxi. The woman sitting in the back seat is doing her make-up by using the taxi's rear-view mirror. From where she is sitting, the angle would not be correct for her to see her reflection in it.
