Collateral (1 viewing)
Plot : Max (Jamie Foxx) has been a cab driver for 12 years , his future of wanting to make his own Limo business is very unclear - when he doesn't want to risk much. But , his next two clients might change his mind.
Story : The movie develops Max in such a great way for the beginning of the movie : once Vincent (Tom Cruise) steps into his car , I really feel sorry for him. Vincent offers Max an extra couple hundred dollars to drive him around the city for the night - but it's not long until Max realizes that Vincent is actually a hit man and Max is driving him to his targets. An underlying theme which I thought was great , is the people of the city don't help one another - and that sets the perfect environment for this movie.
Visuals : The high up shots of the taxi are incredible , as well as pretty much every shot in this movie. Everything is lined up and sets up the moods you go through along the film : the crowded and confusing club to the isolating subway car. All areas with their own signifigance and all shot with a master's eye.
Synopsis : Another perfect action film by Micheal Mann , great in every aspect.
