Collateral (2004)
IMDB: Collateral (2004)
Plot Outline: A cab driver finds himself the hostage of an engaging contract killer as he makes his rounds from hit to hit during one night in LA. He must find a way to save both himself and one last victim.
========================
Jaime Fox and Tom Cruise dance an admirable interplay of the regular guy caught in the wrong place at the wrong time by the *really* wrong guy.
Max (Fox)is just working as a Cab Driver temporarily until his real plan gets settled, even though he's been at it for 12 years.
Vincent (Cruise), a professional killer, enters Max's world and everything takes on a different perspective.
Fine work from both Cruise and Fox (nice to see Cruise in all his grey and getting older glory) and a fine action packed drama.
