Collateral (2004)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Driven by director Michael Mann's trademark visuals and a lean, villainous performance from Tom Cruise, Collateral is a stylish and compelling noir thriller.

Critic Reviews for Collateral
All Critics (235) | Top Critics (48) | Fresh (203) | Rotten (32) | DVD (13)
In the homestretch the thrills get too generic and farfetched for their own good. But the first two thirds are a knockout.
I loved it.
Throughout the gruesome cat-and-mouse game being played by Vincent and Max in Collateral, there's something psychologically, dramatically and even sociologically interesting going on.
This is a tense, first-rate thriller.
Most of the time we are with Cruise and Foxx, and their interplay is never less than galvanizing.
After that promising start, Collateral ratchets down, gradually, to being only average.
Audience Reviews for Collateral
One of the best films by Michael Mann.

A captivating, accelerative, albeit glossily cliched ride through LA after dark. Shout-out to the horrible soundtrack and the awfully boring side characters.
