everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Brilliant and touching

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Collateral features an amazing turn by megastar Tom Cruise in a negative shade. This is a great work by Michael Mann whose decision to shoot at night(this is an all-nighter movie) gives the film an atmosphere that is exceptional and unique. Shot on the streets of Los Angeles Cruise plays a contract killer who hires a taxi and goes about offing people systematically. Jamie Foxx plays the taxi driver and his banter with Cruise form the majority of the running time. The dialogues are good- snappy as well as thought provoking as and when the need arises, the pacing is excellent and direction, as expected from a master filmmaker is top notch. If you are used to seeing Cruise in positive heroic roles Collateral will give you a pleasant surprise.

The only thing I disliked about this movie was the ending. They could have gone along with Vincent's character in another movie. Like a sequel. Really entertaining since the beginning till the end.

Say what you want about Tom Cruise but he delivers an extremely authentic performance - I was stunned. I am writing this December 2017 and I was also very impressed with the image and sound quality (on Blu Ray) of a film from 2004. Looking forward to seeing it again.

CollateralWith an interesting premise, highly packed content and a big star cast it starts off light and easy but doesn't hold enough grip to hold the audience.
