Review of Collateral (2004) by Sam C — 08 Jan 2012

Collateral is one of the best movies ever made in my mind and one of my personal favorites with no flaws whatsoever. Collateral is about a taxi driver named Max whose been driving for 12 years but wants to start a limo business.

One nigh he picks up a hitman named Vincent and now he has to drop him of at all five of his locations to kill. The cops are also on there trail and this turns into one hell of a night for both Vincent and Max.

Before I saw this movie I heard great things about this movie and when I found it for a good price I finally picked it up and watched it. First off I think Michael Mann is one of the best directors out there because he can make some great movies and to me this is his best work.

This movie is done so well and Michael Mann's directing is just amazing. The story for this movie is probably one of the most original and clever story I have ever seen in a movie. As this movie goes on it get's better and better.

This movie also has some intense and thrilling moments and a very well done shootout at a night club. For acting this movie is just awesome and has some great performances. Tom Cruise gives probably his best performance I've seen him give so far.

This is just one of the best performances I've seem from any movie and Cruise's character was just very well done. Jamie Foxx give a knockout performance as well and his performance was very realistic.

One screen together these actors are just phenomenal. Overall Collateral is one of my favorite movies and to me Michael Mann's best work since Heat and a movie that I highly recommend.
