Driven by director Michael Mann's trademark visuals and a lean, villainous performance from Tom Cruise, Collateral is a stylish and compelling noir thriller.

Cruise lacked the deepdown malevolence required to bring Vincent to life. I wished him dead in the first few minutes he was on the screen -- and for the wrong reasons. Jan 8, 2018 | Full Review…

For Vincent's sharp-witted command of the cab and the echoes of The Third Man and Heat, Collateral is well worth targeting. Sep 14, 2004 | Rating: 4/5

The year's best action thriller with excellent performances from its two leads and Mann's brilliant direction making something as pedestrian as a taxi ride a pulse-pounding thrill ride. Apr 18, 2013 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

A captivating, accelerative, albeit glossily cliched ride through LA after dark. Shout-out to the horrible soundtrack and the awfully boring side characters.
I'm definitely not comfortable seeing Tom Cruise in negative character but he was good.
