Review of Collateral (2004) by Johnny K — 03 Sep 2011
Enjoyable crime film with fascinating HD cinematography. The screenplay, even though contain some minor plot holes that I considered acceptable, is more straightforward than Mann's own script for 'Heat'.
The screenplay of 'Heat' expanded the lives of the central characters by adding sub-plots and levels of detail that, while they complicate matters, don't add as much depth as Mann wanted them to be.
'Collateral', on the other hand, is a much more effective in terms of dramatic development and character study. Personally I consider it a superior work than 'Heat'.
