collateral (2004)

A film that I saw at the theater a long time ago is worthy of this blog. The opening music of collateral is great.  Michael Mann directed this film with great touch.  The cast is good and the locations are cool.  Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx's interactions are great theatre.  The one disappointment is lenny the dispatcher, I thought his acting was horrible.  This movie has an exciting climax.

A few scenes, I find enjoyable.  The coyote scene is unique and cool.  During the scene with the drug king pin Jamie Foxx shows his acting chops.  Finally, the fever scene is a climax that builds to the final climax.

This double disc edition of collateral has some good extras.  The commentary on the first disc with Michael Mann is good.  City of Night a documentary about the film is interesting.  Finally, some rehearsal footage with Cruise and Foxx is entertaining.
