Collateral, great movie!

I got to see a screening of the new Michael Mann movie Collateral yesterday.

I have to say I enjoyed it very much! I'll try to give a review without giving anything away.

The movie had its slower moments and some crazy action packed sequences which left my jaw hanging open. Although I don't like seeing Tom Cruise with gray hair it suited this part (he was able to get away from his nice guy personae). The acting was impressive (by everyone).

Even with all the known actors it was incredibly easy to fall into the story. There weren't any opening credits either. A great suspense/drama/action movie and there were a few moments of comic relief. I even loved how it was shot. Great movie!

I've been hoping this would be good.

I like Michael Mann, and I like Tom Cruise. Sounds like a winning combination.

Tom Cruise looks good as a bad guy in the trailer I saw.

Apparently they show it in the new trailer but I never seem to catch it. Too funny

Great movie, saw it tonight. It's just a thriller, but it's very well done. Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx are great in it.

What chair scene?



Posted by: Angerball

when he uses the chair to break the glass and then jump on it and trips

was amusing

Spoiler:
The scene in the dance club was great!

that was just crazy, wasn't expecting that much of a shift in pace.

Wouldn't go as far as to say that really. Was enjoyable, and a fun enough movie, but not that great.

I think it's one of the years best as well. Maybe you should watch again when not so tired
