I think I’d rate it a 9 out of 10. I’ve always loved Heat, but I like this movie better. Tom has never had a better role than this. Like Heat, you sort of root for the good and bad guy through out the movie.
Many people don't understand the real story of the film is about a man who lives a conscious life (Tom) vs one that lives on autopilot (Jamie). The speech given by Tom about wasting ones life away is basically the grim reaper telling a human to make something out of it. Throughout the night Jamie is basically charioting death, hence all the grey colouring of Tom.
Damn I never correlated the colour of Cruise’s outfit with death. That’s actually really interesting. Although you’d think it would be black but maybe black would’ve been too obvious/tacky for Mann.
@@07foxmulder Pure assumption no facts: I believe the grey represents his neutrality. He states early in the film he doesn’t care who his target is or why. Black would insinuate malevolence.

I didn’t think about that at all until after he killed him. I was thinking this jazz player is mature, well tempered and classy. What the hell was he doing getting caught up in criminal behavior? Why is money and lavish living that important to risk when he seemed so well-adjusted? Money can’t buy what he seemed to already have: knowledge, pleasant demeanor and calm confidence
@@fronzelneekburm4552 didn’t argue with the OP. The guy wasted his life. Miles Davis told him him he had potential but not quite there, the guy up and hit the road instead of sticking around learning more jazz.
Cruise was on another freakin level from 00-05. Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Minority Report, Last Samurai, Collateral, War of the Worlds. Idk if I can think of a better stretch of films for one actor. Shows that when he wants to he can not only pick excellent projects, but also knock it out of the park in each one.
It didn't hurt that Hollywood was still making great movies back then and took the whole business far more seriously than they do now. But yes, that was Cruise's golden age.

Tom Cruise as a villain is frightening . He looks like another handsome dude among us, who one would never guess as a killer. I am sure we see them around in our everyday life but have no idea who they are. That’s the chilling part. Has to be one of his best roles
@@StormInATeaCup35 well, his role in Magnolia isn't strictly villainous but he's a complex, unpleasant character. If you haven't seen it I strongly recommend watching it.
True. Technically the jazz guy was correct though. Vincent could have said to the poor fellah .. "And then?" and allowed him to continue his answer. I'm sure he would have mentioned Charlie Parker too. I saw his face after shooting the guy, and he did look upset. He must have sorta' liked the guy to give him that offer in the first place. ~
I think there is bts feature where Tom Cruise talks about the director always having backstories and a life history for any character even the small roles. It really adds so much to the character even though you don't know this detail when watching.
This is a really great film. The chemistry between Cruise and Foxx is so much more engaging than it was between DeNiro and Pacino in Heat. Its a real shame Tom Cruise doesn't play the villain more often.
A masterful scene… one of the finest in Michael Mann’s filmography. And man, Tom Cruise is particularly sensational here (his role as Vincent is definitely a career highlight).
I interpret the scene as Vincent immersed in the jazz mood and improvising on the man's fate. When he's asked if he would have killed the guy even if he answered correctly, he never responded. Just one of those things that we'll never know.
Vincent is a professional who has a job to do. He's not making it alive. However, im my opinion, the scene clearly shows Vincent having some respect for him. Otherwise, there was really no need for the small talk nor for continuing answering the answer after finish him. However, Vincent understood how stressful for the victim is to know the end is near so he killed him the more human way possible by framing him into a fake question that opened the possibility of a way out. While the victim felt confident answering the question he shot him at an unexpected moment so the witness died quickly with no mental suffering. The real plot hole here is how a witness of a crime lord who made a deal with the feds was left to his own devices. I checked and no one ever died while in custody by a witness protection program. If for whatever reason, they couldn't provide a WPP, at least he should have been taught not to be on the most obvious and unprotected place to be. How convenient for Vincent.
@@LWLProductions well, it's actually the Marshals. I can only give the data. It's up to everyone to believe it or not: As of 2020, approximately 19,000 witnesses and family members had been protected by the U.S. Marshals Service since the program began in 1971.[12] The program has a 100% success rate; no witness has ever died in WITSEC.[13]
@@jaumeprimerelhipsternothing has a 100% success rate. We just don’t know the real numbers, because it would jeopardize the integrity of the program, making people less likely to enter the program.
For a guy who relies on anonymity, he took a lot of risks in this film. Putting the first guy in the trunk (why?), killing the second guy after a doorman called him, killing this guy in his nightclub (waitress would remember him), going after another guy with tight security in a crowded nightclub, etc. The interaction scenes between Foxx and Cruise were masterful, though.
The jazz man, in that fleeting moment of certainty where he knows he answered Vincent's question correctly & had earned his life, was somehow transported back to the same state of conscientious he experienced all those years ago playing with Miles Davis; he was truly alive again. And that's when Vincent quickly shot him; before that moment had a chance to pass. Vincent is indeed an uncompromising embodiment of death; however, despite this, he gave that jazz man a gift. I believe that is why Vincent looked so forlorn afterward; this man became a kindred being of consciousness in that moment, and for that moment, Vincent was not alone.
That's the irony of the entire movie. Vincent talks a big game but he keeps using the same tactics, shoots people the same way, sets up the fall guy in the same way, and uses the Mozambique drill. Which gets him killed in the end.
That's a little different. Yes talking about routine as in missing. Not showing up. You think his mom's going to make that big a deal out of him buying flowers once? And figure he's in trouble? No
@@youregay2947 The mozambique drill is about firing two shots to the body, and one to the head. If you watch the last scene you can see he fired those shots precisely on the center and they all went into train metal doors and got stopped by them, where as Max fired them inaccurately and hit Vincent. Being too accurate and shooting in a routine mozambique drill killed him.
Miles Davis was already an accomplished musician before moving to NY having played in an orchestra and taking lessons as early as 1935.... He was wrong, but so was Tom Cruise
@@DescartesRenegade Does it? I taught my kids letters and how to read. They went to school and then learned the details like grammar and sentence structure, but there's no denying, I taught them to read.
I just realized I have the coat jacket. Late night hours people don't question or mess with me. I can get in anywhere without detailed questions, thanks Tom.
I love that Tom catches his head before it can slam on the table and gently lays him to rest. He respected the man he had to kill and genuinely regretted doing it. Business is business.
He failed the question or failed to say exactly who miles learned from quick enough…either way I don’t think cruise character would have allowed him to live.
What's crazy about this scene to me is that it shows that Vincent clearly comprehends the value of human life. He talks about how Max's mother carried him in her womb for nine months. He clearly understands a man visiting his mother in the hospital every night out of love. But Vincent also *takes* human lives effortlessly and dispassionately, and totally without mercy or remorse. As others have mentioned, these are qualities of an avatar or God of death; valuing life, and taking it anyway.
Fun fact! - There’s a bloopers take of this scene where Vincent actually live fires against, as Max calls him, “Jazz Man”. They had to re-cast the part to barry shabaka henley at the last minute, as the previous actor was completely dead. In the outtake, Tom and Jamie can be heard laughing as they realise what happened. Michael Mann can be heard saying “another jazz man?” and the camera man laughs. You can’t let accidents like that get in the way of a good scene. Mann did what he needed to do and decided to postpone live rounds in this scene.
No one, particularly anyone who played the character 'Jazzman' was killed in the filming of Collateral. mattmanslim is a complete liar!!!! Trolling from his parents basement with cheeto stained fingers!!!!
That was actually bit cruel of Vincent. His question wasn't "Where did Miles GRADUATE school?" The question was simply "Where did Miles go to school?"

The elevator scene is so weird. First the editing is wrong since he uses his right hand to click the buttons but the close up is a left hand. Then he talks to the guy. Do they know each other? Then after getting asked which floor, after they leave he still has to push the button himself again to get to his floor. So why asking? Everything is just so off.

He probably splits the shifts with other people so the shop can stay open 24 hours.
What I’ve always noticed, he used a separate silenced auto pistol possibly a 22, vs his silver auto pistol.
Great film this and heat and two of my favorite films
The elevator scene is so weird. First the editing is wrong since he uses his right hand to click the buttons but the close up is a left hand.
Then he talks to the guy. Do they know each other?
Then after getting asked which floor, after they leave he still has to push the button himself again to get to his floor. So why asking?
Everything is just so off.
Tom Cruise should hate Hollywood. The man should have at least five Oscars by now….
lessons on being inconspicuous here are ironic af 3:50
Michael is spelled:
M - I - C - H - *A - E* - L
Why do people find this so difficult?
This could be Miami Vice
Doesn't make sense. He doesn't want to break routine, but insists on buying flowers to someone who never gets them.
Can you please fix tha volume on all of your videos, if so, thanks
Didn’t realize that at 1:15, there is a worker in the background who probably witnessed it all.
I think that's just Jamie Foxx
Yeah, I guess it was him. He did get over there pretty quick. A movie goof.
@@station2123 Yeah, continuity is an issue here
No exit wounds at that range.
How many rounds does it take for a head to explode?
3rd shot went over his head...lol
it's almost like .22 caliber.
Yeah, he's using a suppressed Ruger .22LR here. Likely with heavier subsonic rounds.
@pbdye1607
At that range, one round. That .22 will bounce around and scramble the brains.
Slow down the video. 3rd shot goes over the head.
@@nicholasmuro1742apparently the bouncing around the head thing is a myth
@@SladetheBlade..
Possibly. How do you know for sure?
