raraha Hmmm. Not bad. Not good. But I was a bit boring while I was watching it.

isaiahliljequist The movie starts off relatively slow, but the moment Tom Cruise gets into Jamie Foxx's taxi is when the movie kicks off. The interactions between the two are a joy to watch. Even though Vincent (Tom Cruise) is a villain in this movie, He's just so charismatic that some part of me was rooting for him. Vincent is like John Wick before he existed. This movie may not be as fast paced as John Wick, but it's more intense in my opinion. I've never been the biggest fan of Jamie Foxx, but he played his role as Max, the taxi driver pretty well. A part of the movie I found to be unrealistic is that near the end, Max suddenly knows how to use and shoot guns pretty well. Overall though, I enjoyed the movie and would gladly watch it again in the future.

ManOfKino Max, a good-hearted Los Angeles cabbie with dreams but not much resolve, takes a man named Vincent as his client for one night, and has the most unusual and dangerous night of his life...Collateral is a slick and compact film that masquerades as a crime drama/action film when it is really about its two main characters and the things they represent. Max and Vincent, played to perfection by Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise, are main characters, opponents and complementary opposites all at the same time. The film makes the unusual but effective decision of having the two opponents in the same spot for most of the film (inside Max's taxi), and this closeness prepares the ground for the exchanges between Max and Vincent, both actually noticing their problems this way and teaching each other (however, only one of them really learns). Despite its great atmosphere and impressive shootout scenes, Collateral is really about bad choices and missed chances. It's the story of two people with very different lives and morals who are dissatisfied deep down with what their choices resulted for them, and are looking for a way out whether under the guise of avoidance or adaptation. It is a great film and never becomes less interesting on repeated viewings.

GUENOT PHILIPPE I don't know if any of you has noticed this detail, I guess some of you have done it, but there is a little think that I have thought about whist I watched this pure masterpiece. It's the postcard element, when Tom Cruise - or Jamis Fox - hands and watches the little postcard, showing the Pacific island. The impossible and ultimate dream of a life time. How not to think about THIEF, with James Caan handing a kind of photos patchwork of this whole past life, and showing it to Tuesday Weld, the girl whom he wants to live with. One picture means future, the other the past, I admit, but I could not prevent myself to think about this detail, me who has both features so many times. So many. That's all folks.
