 |  |  | | | | Max (Foxx) has lived the mundane life of a cab driver for 12 years. The faces have come and gone from his rearview mirror, people and places he's long since forgotten...until tonight. Vincent (Cruise) is a contract killer. When an offshore narcotrafficking cartel learns they're about to be indicted by a federal grand jury, they mount an operation to identify and kill the key witnesses, and the last stage is tonight. Tonight, Vincent arrived in L.A...and five bodies are supposed to fall. Circumstances cause Vincent to hijack Max's taxicab, and Max becomes collateral-an expendable person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through the night Vincent forces Max to drive him to each assigned destination. And as the LAPD and FBI race to intercept them, Max and Vincent's survival becomes dependent on each other in ways neither would have imagined. |

 "To quote the movie: It's cool. Which means it's good, but not ready. Thanks, Mister Mann, for summing it up in a discretionary bit of dialogue. Those were my thoughts exactly...Someone, please, buy this man a pair of scissors. Make 'em sharp. And force the mother f'er to use 'em."

 "If you've spent your summer searching for the proverbial "edge of your seat" at the movies, you'll definitely find it seeing Collateral, because that's where you'll be for nearly the entire movie."
