Two lonely specks in the cosmos pass each other by and irreversibly change courses. Not sure why this hit me harder than it has on previous watches but I love the immediacy and working-class detail Mann manages to fit into the minute logistics of his thrills, the wounded sensitivity of the character writing (so many wonderful little acting gestures between Cruise and Foxx who are locked in a moral and philosophical battle as much as a literal one) and of course the stylish mood and existentialism of its constantly on-the-move handheld, digital lowlight depiction of LA at night. Chris Cornell howling into the fuzzy orange sky had me practically in tears! Right when it hit midnight I was watching the club shootout. Just sublime, Happy New Year y’all!
sick of characters taking off their glasses when shit gets real. that’s when you want your glasses the most
You know what really sticking out about these Mann films I've been watching. His boundless empathy. This film is a brutal refutation to the "cool hitman" genre, where "moral codes" make it seem acceptable for the protagonists to kill. Cruise's Vincent uses nihilism to justify his actions. Foxx's Max -- and Mann, in kind -- refuse to concede such a cynical outlook. They insist that this world is worth something. Look at the way Mann shoots his cityscapes, seemingly in awe of their aesthetic power. Just look at one of his other great films: Will Graham's superpower in Manhunter is his ability to empathize with even the most abominable individuals. Max has the same ability in this film. Mann's films…
It's truly incredible how many GREAT movies Tom Cruise has been in. Whether it's a drama like Eyes Wide Shut, or an action movie like Top Gun, and let's not forget a comedic role like Tropic Thunder; he is always in top form. There'e no denying that Tommy C is one of the best actors of all-time. I might not be the biggest fan of the real life Cruise, but as an actor I absolutely love the guy. Collateral is just another great Tommy C movie to add to the ongoing list.
