    Good movie that doesn't quite deliver

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 3, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Collateral (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Jamie Foxx & Tom Cruise are excellent

    Cons: camera movement a bit jerky at times; looks kind of cheap

    Both Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise deliver excellent performances against type in this film. Tom Cruise is chillingly believable as a cold-blooded murderer.

    Pros: A great director

    Cons: None

    So many other movie depend solely on their star power to carry the film. Giving no regard to sequence, character development or even a plot. This movie has it all. Anyone with a higher standard for entertainment will enjoy this movie.

    Collateral

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 28, 2004

    Pros: Somewhat of a suspense movie

    Cons: Colors were ala Matrix

    A good suspense movie with Tom Cruise as a hitman. I do think that they really didn't need him as a lead actor but I guess it sells tickets. A good DVD movie. I found that the colors were off. Plenty of action, not too creditable a plot.

    A pretty 'heavy' film...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 27, 2004 | 0 out of 1 found this Collateral (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Has an actual storyline worth watching.

    Cons: A bit depressing.

    Tom Cruise plays the cold hitman with aplomb and Foxx is a nice surprise in a serious role for a change. This pairing of actors was unexpected yet worked well. The movie itself has a 'moody', feel to it and the entire film was shot with a s...pecial process so one could get a better view of Los Angeles at night and actually be able to 'see things'one wouldn't ordinarily be able to see if the film had indeed been shot in the actual dark of night in L.A. For the most part, the movie is fast-paced and tense but there are a few scenes that just seem to drag on. In a strange sense, you actually come to understand, if not care about, the characters to an extent. The movie drives home a very 'real' and 'ugly' truth about not only a big city but in people these days in general. That being, we don't really know and care about one another anymore. Any one of us could die on a subway, train, bus and it may take quite some time before anyone would even notice...or even care, if at all. Yet 'life' goes on whether we're a part of it or not. If nothing else, the movie, while depressing, gets you to start thinking about your own mortality and what our journey here on earth is really all about. The bigger question being, in the end, does any of it matter? Do we matter? Worth seeing. Read more Less
