    OK... so you need to do Heat which is Mann's masterclass - de Nero & Pacino on the same screen, also Val Kilmer, Natalie Portman and a host of famous stars (including two Thomas Harris villains !)
    Miami Vice is also extremely stylish (Mann produced the 80s TV show that set the style for an an entire decade).
    Manhunt was his 80s TV version of Red Dragon (Silence of the Lambs precurser) and some people argue it is better than the remake.
    Finally The Last of the Mohicans is also Mann. He is a very talented director.
    But yeah... Heat should be on your radar for sure !

    The anonymity of Vincent you picked up on early is exactly what Michael Mann intended. The fact that you could be sitting right next to him and not have a clue who he is or what he does. In order to attain this, he had Tom Cruise try several different appearances and outfits until he could successfully walk around LA without anyone recognizing him.

    Chandra, LMAO, your face when Jordan said "I wonder how much he gets paid as a hitman?" LMAO, the expression was "Are you considering that line of work??" HAHAHAHA
    I had the pleasure of watching this movie in the theatres when it came out way back when. An incredible experience that left me out of breath. The scenes were amazing, full of tension, just incredible. I watch this movie once every couple of years. Generally when I rewatch a movie I sometimes fastforward over certain parts, but this movie I watch from beginning to end. Honestly I still remember the dialogue after, wow, 20 years! Especially the 'reality' speech he was giving Max, "suddenly you're old, you never accomplished anything, etc etc" had quite the effect. The scenes are all so memorable, the body falling on the car, the jazz scene, the hospital scene, him pretending to be Vincent, wow, the club scene....etc, just everything. Glad you guys enjoyed it and I really enjoyed your reaction!

    A nice little detail about the final shoot-out: Vincent's training actually gets him killed here. He instinctively tries his "two in the chest, one in the head" shooting pattern, and if you look closely you can see two bullets get stuck in the train doors and then the third bullet gets stuck just above them. Max on the other hand just shuts his eyes and hopes for the best, and by spraying bullets with no real plan he ends up accidentally landing a kill shot on Vincent. Really fantastic movie.

    Great reaction, guys! Collateral is one of my favorite thrillers, at least in part because it's such an unusual role for Tom Cruise. Jamie Foxx was also perfectly cast as Max.
    If you want another film by the same director, check out the heist film Heat (1995) with Al Pacino and Robert Di Nero along with Val Kilmer and a very young Natalie Portman. Another good psychological thriller is The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas. You can also check out No Country for Old Men (2007) to see Javier Bardem in a creepy killer role much like Vincent in Collateral. Bardem played the night club owner that Max had to get the intel from after he threw Vincent's briefcase off the bridge.

It's directed by the late, great Richard Donner, who directed The Omen, Superman, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, and so much more. Check it out. It's very underrated.

    What if Jamie Foxx's character Max from Collateral and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs from Miami Vice are actually the same person?! 🤔
    Think about it! After the crazy night Max had in Collateral-getting caught up in a hitman's deadly game, facing life-or-death situations, and finding his inner strength-he decides to leave his old life behind in L.A. Maybe he moves to Miami, takes up a new identity, and joins the narcotics unit, becoming the badass detective we see in Miami Vice. It would explain why "Rico" is so calm under pressure and knows how to handle high-stakes situations. 🚔🌴
    Could Max's wild night in L.A. have inspired him to fight crime on the front lines? Is this a hidden crossover in Michael Mann's universe?

    The look has so much to do with shooting on digital cameras. At night, there is only so much you can show. Backgrounds tend to disappear as everything fades into blackness. With digital, there is so much more depth of field, that you can SEE so much more and so much further into the distance. Mann really kicked open the door for leveraging that technology.

    @nikolaiquack8548 Місяць тому

    I love how on the surface level this is a fairly simple thriller with a cool concept and good performances. But if you go one level deeper, the movie has quite a lot to say. Vincent is pretty much a nihilist and considers murder perfectly okay, since life has no inherent meaning. Meanwhile Max is trying to live his life in a meticulous way, but of course that doesn't work. The irony is: If Max had never met Vincent, he probably would never have called the lawyer and he would probably still lie to himself, his mother and everyone else about his dream. So in a very odd way this catastrophic night made him realize his full potential and Vincent accidentally helped him, which in turn led to Vincent getting killed.
    I don't think Vincent's charm was just a mask btw. Many sociopaths can be quite charming, if they want to be. A lot of the not murderous ones end up working for big companies, etc. One might say that capitalism rewards a lack of empathy...

    What's with Jordan's Mo.? It goes from elaborate to non-existent. Is it a religeous thing? Is it a job requirement? He goes from looking like your partner to looking like your 12-year old nephew. What's the deal? Genuinely curious subscriber asking.

    I love that in their final confrontation Vincent’s shot would have hit max two in the chest one in the head, but the door stopped it

    Michael Mann knows how to make movies. Collateral, the insider, manhunter

    "You're going to get people killed who didn't need to be"
    "I don't feel bad for them"
    If Vincent is demonstrating more empathy than you, you should reconsider your feelings 😅

    As a person, Tom Cruise is a weird fucking dude, but as an actor, he's so fucking compelling... he's probably my favorite actor, at least with regards to his imdb page: his movies, from the beginning of his career until now, are so consistently fun, interesting, and/or compelling.
    There might be actors with more range - who *display* more range, Cruise has more range than he typically shows, I think, he consistently gives movie star performances rather than acts, but he's shown, occasionally, that he's capable of the latter - but he's just got the most, best movies. And as good as they have been, I think Collateral was my favorite of his - something like 30 years into his career. Really impressive.
    AND THEN he out-did himself with "Edge of Tomorrow" (that I know see y'all have already reacted to; that's next up for me, I guess); he had to have been 40 years into his career before that movie and somehow, despite having so many fun movies before then, he's still consistently making incredibly good, fun, re-watchable movies.

    To me this is one of Tom Cruise’s best performance. His portrayal as the villain is all the more terrifying because he’s so charming. Kinda reminds me of Denzel’s character in Training Day

      Oooh, that is a great comparison! You're so right.
      Also, I was watching a video essay on this film the other day that spoke about what makes Vincent such a fascinating villain. And one talking point that I enjoyed was how he makes a lot of persuasive arguments about life that help motivate Max out of his apathy. And it's weird! Because intellectually we're all aware that he's a sociopathic hitman. But his remarks are rather salient. And more than a little nihilistic, but no matter. It puts the viewer (myself at least) in this strange position.
      It reminded me of that meme "Heartbreaking: Worst person you know actually made a great point"
