Synopsis: Max brings twelve years of taxi driver in a big city and Vincent is a hired murderer. A number of circumstances make Vincent hijack Max's taxicab, which makes Max in "Collateral," in other words, just because you're disposable in the wrong place at the wrong time. Pursued by the LAPD and the FBI, Max and Vincent eventually depend on each other to survive. I'm not exactly , who find in these lines the undeniable quality of a filmmaker with all the letters as it is Michael Mann. I think that absolutely no one (and certainly no fan of the detective genre) can erase their retinas that excellent shooting that occurred this tremendous averaging awesome movie entitled "Fire Fire" ("Heat" 1995). Beyond
be an excellent police narrated from start to finish, and produced spectacular acting duel by the eternal Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the scene of action was one of the most spectacular films I've ever seen for a long time in contemporary cinema. With a clear distinctive touch in regard also to the narrative aspect of his films, Michael Mann has provided paths film gems over his prolific career.
Back in 2004, and after having dispensed with a tremendous awesome movie titled "The Informer" ("The Insider" 1999), Mann returned to immerse yourself in the detective genre with "Collateral", a film highly entertaining, excellently filmed and foremost, possessing a very striking and effective narrative of the film's leading duo.
"Collateral" is ultimately excellent police. Here is a simple script in general, but totally effective from beginning to end. Effective in its overall approach, effective in the police story is told, and above all, effective in structuring the relationship that is slowly brewing between the main protagonists of the film. And that is where I think is one of the greatest successes of this great police, the relationship of the two main characters.
is quite striking that some dialogue between Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx are ultimately as important to the overall narrative of the film as stunt tracks excellently filmed. A success story of the script, and above all, a great match for Michael Mann in the importance given to details that other filmmakers might have overlooked.
Very little can be reproached for Michael Mann as the film itself. It is true that Mann was terribly in love digital format, but it is also true that in "Collateral" is where the best use has given the technology (just to cite one example, I think in the very good "Public Enemies," Mann abused too much of that resource), shooting the whole film at night with a clarity seldom seen and attaching to it a couple of scenes really to remember. Examples of this, the dramatic shootout in a bowling night or stressful scene that takes place in a jazz club.
Another strength of the film are undoubtedly their actions. While Jamie Foxx up very effectively the role of a taxi driver who must deal frankly with a night terror, he takes all the laurels here is the increasingly strong Tom Cruise. Cruise is an actor who was never to my liking at the beginning, but after good performances ("The Last Samurai" was one of them) has done fully convince. Here literally brilliantly composed of a ruthless and cynical murderer for hire, who also strikes up a relationship very well told with the character of Jamie Foxx.
Without much else to say, I just wanted to remember this fine police back in 2004 Michael Mann gave us all the viewers who love this genre. A genre that sometimes is guilty of some repetition, but when watching movies is one of the greatest satisfactions has given me.
Movie Rating: Excellent. Read
