Review
Collateral is an action thriller which gives you a glance into the mindset of hit man killer Vincent (Tom Cruise), while recoiling at the emotions of kidnapped cab driver Max (Jamie Foxx).

Excellently acted by both Tom and Jamie, with a refreshing role reversal for each of them. The dialogue and character interaction is both poignant and entertaining with an occasional sprinkling of black humour to alleviate the tension.

Michael Mann (Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider) continues to evolve his stylish sense of direction, and almost provides a signature for the movie by creating a unique mood and feel.

Fans of Cruise should definitely go and see this movie, but be prepared for a darker roll than he usually plays.
