Collateral is one of those rare movies that strives to keep an audience interested from end to end--not just with action and loud noises, but with well-written and smart dialogue. The casting of Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx were also superb decisions, as both again cemented the fact that they have a right to be recognized as some of the most talented actors of their generation. Combine this with the film's noir stylings and its clever plot, and you have a modern masterpiece of a film. Michael Mann only really began appearing in the public eye as a producer and director in the late 1990s, but based on his work here I would like him to keep working for a long time to come--he deserves to be noticed.
