Collateral

"This intensely focused piece soars not only on the director's precision-tooled style but also on the outstanding interplay between leads Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx."

"The best kind of genre filmmaking: It plays by the rules, obeys the traditions and is both familiar and fresh at once."

"This is a rare thriller that's as much character study as sound and fury."

"It sticks to the mean streets of Los Angeles without much introspection or analysis. But those surfaces are slick and beguiling."

"Perhaps the best premise for thrills since "Speed," only this time the bad guy’s on board and the battle of wits is more philosophical debate than pop quiz."
