| I LIKED IT. IT LOOKS GREAT (HI-DEF VIDEO). YES THERE WERE "ISSUES" BUT FIND ME A MOVIE THAT DOESNT HAVE PLOT GAPS, COINCIDENCES ETC. THE ACTING WAS GOOD ALL ROUND T.C. MAKES A GOOD BADDY. ENTERTAINING ENOUGH TO WATCH OVER WITH DIRECTORS COMMENTARY. DISSAPOINTED OVER THE FINAL SCENE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SPOIL IT THOUGH. |

| Previous reviewer is correct; the movie is not particularly believable. It's still good. Jamie Foxx is fun to watch. The movie is very pretty. It's certainly interesting to see what Michael Mann does with flourescent lights and downtown Los Angeles at night time. There's some cheese involved (BS psychodrama), but it's all forgiveable. |

| There's a great idea at the core of COLLATERAL: a hit man using a captive cabbie to take him on his deadly rounds. Unfortunately, the movie itself stinks. It takes this good idea and surrounds it with coincidence and unbelievable incidents that require far too much suspension of disbelief. A single example should suffice: The Tom Cruise character can kill every one of the L.A.P.D., FBI, CIA and private security guards who convene en masse during the scene in the night club (and then handily escape!) but can't manage to plug the one guy in the film who presumably has never held a gun in his hand before this particular evening. Yup: it's that kind of nonsense movie. Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx is excellent, as always, and Michael Mann keeps making these overlong, arty/farty (we get a nice round of existentialism here!), glossy/glib exercises that are "directed" to death. Less, please. |
