Movie Reviews of Collateral (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie four times this week already, since it first premiered on DVD (saw it three times at the movie theaters). I have to admit ... I saw "HEAT" eight times at the movie theaters (my personal record), so you can say that I'm "biased" towards Michael Mann's films. His characters are always so REAL, and rich. I never feel like I'm watching stereotypical movie characters. I feel like I'm "peeking in" on someone's life. That's how I felt with Max and Vincent. They seemed so real to me. Most "hit man" roles don't seem real to me, but the character of Vincent did, as played by mega-star Tom Cruise. Jamie Foxx almost stole the movie though with his best performance to date, with the possible exception of "Ray." I loved everything about this movie, and his performance, particularly when he went to meet up with bad guy "Felix." That scene was CLASSIC. This movie gets FIVE STARS in my book. It's one you will want to watch over and over again.
Summary of Collateral (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Collateral offers a change of pace for Tom Cruise as a ruthless contract killer, but that's just one of many reasons to recommend this well-crafted thriller. It's from Michael Mann, after all, and the director's stellar track record with crime thrillers (Thief, Manhunter, and especially Heat) guarantees a rich combination of intelligent plotting, well-drawn characters, and escalating tension, beginning here when icy hit-man Vincent (Cruise) recruits cab driver Max (Jamie Foxx) to drive him through a nocturnal tour of Los Angeles, during which he will execute five people in a 10-hour spree. While Stuart Beattie's screenplay deftly combines intimate character study with raw bursts of action (in keeping with Mann's directorial trademark), Foxx does the best work of his career to date (between his excellent performance in Ali and his title-role showcase in Ray), and Cruise is fiercely convincing as an ultra-disciplined sociopath. Jada Pinkett-Smith rises above the limitations of a supporting role, and Mann directs with the confidence of a master, turning L.A. into a third major character (much as it was in the Mann-produced TV series Robbery Homicide Division). Collateral is a bit slow at first, but as it develops subtle themes of elusive dreams and lives on the edge, it shifts into overdrive and races, with breathtaking precision, toward a nail-biting climax. --Jeff ShannonAction & Adventure DVD Video
