@@AzulApe And yet very few people even know it exist in comparison to actual popular movies. Collateral was #21 top grossing for movies in 2004. Making a ton of money is 100% meaningless as a metric for determining if something is underrated. Collateral made $100 million, and AVP made $80 million. Would you consider those even remotely close in quality? Now consider that way more people know AVP exists than Collateral. Hence, Collateral is underrated. It's criminal that everyone doesn't know about this movie.
@@joe.banana You did not just compare this movie to one of the most well-known IPs in history as if they were even in the same realm of notoriety. That's legitimately ignorant lmao.
47:41 Note that Vincent’s shots were stopped by the metal door because he shot a tight center-of-mass group. Max, being less skilled, shot more wildly, through the glass, and got a lucky shot into Vincent.
I loved how early in the movie Max says "I get lucky with the lights" in terms of traffic. In the rail car at the end, the lights fail at the right moment.
This scene also highlights some key thematic elements of the two characters. Vincent insulted Max earlier in the film for being a creature of habit and not being more spontaneous and willing to take risks. He suggests Max will never start his limo business because he stuck in a habitual rut. Yet, in the end, Vincent dies because of his own training (habit) of the Mozambique Drill, two to the chest, one to the head (which as you note all hit the center of the door). Meanwhile, Max's spontaneous and risky actions, masquerading as Vincent in the meeting, crashing the cab, shooting wildly in the subway car, are what end up saving the day. It's a brilliant scene.
@@stefanhuddleston6816 GREAT comment. Also, Vincent, being a man of habit was going to kill Max at the end of trip. KRISTEN, being a sweet girl, wants to believe Vincent saved Max in the nightclub because he likes Max.
Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo look so different than their usual looks in this movie, and both of their performances are so good despite being so short.
This film did a great job making all of the actors look a lot different from their normal look, yet they all still somehow looked natural. I see a lot of movies, even some really good ones, where the wigs, costumes, makeup, and facial hair is way overdone, but not this one.
He would make the perfect person sent to Kill John Wick. People are down on him, but Will Smith would fit in a movie like that. Those three would work.
@@jatilq I do miss Will Smith films. Do people not realize the characters are not the real people? Just pay a dude to entertain you, have fun and not try to worship them later. It isn't rocket science.
In the game payday 2 were john wick is a playable charactrers you can get Vincent's glasses (Collateral sunglasses) and the description mention indirectly the events of the movie and also says John was hired to kill Vincent but when he found him he was already dead on the train
Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx give two of their best performances of all time in this movie. I would love to see Tom Cruise play more roles as a villain like Vincent. There’s actually great behind-the-scenes features showing Tom Cruise on a shooting range training for this movie, and he is in fact THAT quick and THAT accurate with a gun, the actor who played Daniel (the jazz club target) said and I quote “Tom Cruise is a quick draw, if he had been around in the old west, he would have a lot of notches on his belt”. And Jamie Foxx perfectly portrays one of my favorite archetypes, an ordinary man put in extraordinary circumstances. And seeing his character evolve throughout the movie is absolutely beautiful. You can see why he was nominated for an Oscar for this. He didn’t win for this, but thankfully for playing Ray Charles in the movie Ray, at the exact same Oscar ceremony.
We may see Cruise giving another anti-hero/villain role soon. He is confirmed as the lead in Alejandro Iñárritu's new film about the most powerful man in the world, who embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything.
The way that Tom Cruise quickly dispatches the two thugs in the alley, is studied by police. It's a perfect instance of tactical draw. Vincent always shoots center mass, then to make sure the guy stays dead, he shoots in the head. The film points this out multiple times, especially during the train car scene between Max. The door blocked the bullets. Max fires wildly. The lights obscured Max from Vincent. Max got lucky with the lights.
Collateral is definitely one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies, in particular because one of the rare films he gets to play the villain and he does such a great job in the role. 🙂 It kind of makes me wish Cruise played villains more often.
According to Michael Mann, Vincent is a man able to get in and out of anywhere without anyone recognizing or remembering him. To prepare for the movie, Tom Cruise had to make FedEx deliveries in a crowded Los Angeles market without anyone recognizing him.
Always loved that scene. Richard T. Jones is a good actor & has been in some of my favorite movies & shows. He was also good in Event Horizon, Vantage Point, Phone Booth, Godzilla, Super 8, Kiss the Girls & What's Love Got to Do With It? as well. Now, that they've seen this, I hope to see these two react to any of those other films at some point.
I swear whenever you hear Richard T. Jones' voice and either not look at the screen or close your eyes, you would think it's Denzel Washington talking. Jones sounds just like him.
Lovely reaction - Michael Mann is like the Fred Astaire of urban action thrillers; he's famous for his meticulous planning, and yet his films have this giddily breezy quality that looks almost effortless; I think the contrast between Max and Vincent embodies these 2 sides of Mann himself - he had a great run thru the 80s and 90s - Thief; Manhunter; Last of the Mohicans; building up to 2 masterpieces w Heat and Insider - he faltered a bit w Ali, then re-emerged w Collateral, with Mann breaking new ground w the new digital filmmaking - since then he hasn't quite regained his balance - still an incredible record, and that's not even counting his watershed TV work - I think DePalma's Scarface has somehow embedded itself in Mann's DNA, starting w Miami Vice As one might imagine, Mann does the most amazing DVD commentaries - in this one he said Vincent's moments of humanity are actually like cracks in his facade, suggesting that Vincent himself might be starting to crack up in this role he's been playing - Cruise's other great anti-sympathetic performance is in Magnolia, which got him an Oscar nom - another movie w an action star giving a surprisingly great performance as a hitman cracking up is Matador w Pierce Brosnan, who also deserved an Oscar nom
This movie is extremely underrated. Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx had great chemistry. I saw it on DVD back in the day, I’m surprised it’s not talked about more often.
Except he died because he couldn't deviate from his own routines. He tried to kill Max with his classic two to the chest, one to the head. But the metro door blocked his shots whereas Max's more improvised shots firing blindy actually hit him.
Not the scarier version AT ALL! Training Day is indeed based on reality, and its scenarios were actually VERY common in the 90s. Look up the Rampart scandal.
I consider this to be one of the most slept on movies ever. The storyline is well written and I kind of like Tom Cruise playing a bad guy rather than the typical good role he usually plays.
Collateral is one of the greatest and sadly most underrated crime thrillers ever made! Michael Mann (the GENIUS behind Heat) takes you throughout LA, showing the darkest and most dangerous parts while pausing in moments to take in the beauty. I especially love when the coyote crosses in front of the cab and Max and Vincent just watch it quietly, like it’s a reminder that even though they have their own problems the world is still going.
Don't know about the underrated thing though, this did great at the box office the year it came out,and had both critical and financial success, and is considered one of the greatest neo noir movies ever made
THE COYOTE is Vincent. You can see in his face that on some level he recognizes another predator on the streets that night. Both dangerous, but both of them also out of place.
The thing I like about this movie is the variety in every aspect. The music is all over the place, yet still bad ass. All of the murder victims were very different from each other, yet all had something in common. The cops were very different from each other, yet had the same goal. Then there is Cruise and Foxx; very different, yet so similar. I love this movie, and I'm so glad you did, as well.
One of my all-time favorite films! Tom Cruise was magnificent here, and Jamie Foxx played his role to perfection. Very underrated performances from a very underrated movie.
Collateral is on The Transporter universe (just fun fact) that’s why a Jason Statham cameo. Tom Cruise’s natural charisma makes him great for villains like this something I wish he would do more of
The mother didn’t hate flowers. She didn’t want her son to waste money on something as trivial and transitory as flowers when he could be spending that money on something to advance his own situation. When someone else was spending the money she appreciated the gesture.
I'm proud you guys enjoyed this because this is one of my all time favorite movies. The relationship between Max and Vincent changed both of their lives. You can see the change when Vincent looks sad after he kills the jazz man.
I never realized till now, that Jamie Foxx has played two great characters named Max. The cab driver, and Max (Electro) Dillon in the Spiderman movie(s)😊
38:50 I love this scene so much. It’s so chaotic, and Vincent is just, in control and ruthless. It’s incredible. The song is also fantastic. One of my favorites.
One of my fave movies. Cruise makes for a fantastic villain. I’ve read some fan theories that Jason Statham is playing his “The Transporter” character in the beginning, as he delivers the suitcase with the kill list to Vincent, both characters existing in the same universe. Cool, huh?
1st: Kristen is a vision of pure beauty as always. 2nd: Please watch Jamie Foxx and Colin Ferrell in Miami Vice from 2006. Alot of similar style shots as Collateral. I love that movie so much.
There's one word that comes to mind when I think of this film: noir. Its very much a crime-related noir where an ordinary dude gets swept up in something way over his head and it culminates in the most interesting and most dangerous night of his life. Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise are at the top of their game, especially with the character depictions and dialogue. Michael Mann's direction is also at his apex, and this was a few years after he did Heat with DeNiro and Pacino. It's perfect.
There are three movies that I always recommend to people who tell me that Tom Cruise has no range as an actor: Collateral, Magnolia and Born on the Fourth of July.
Vincent as your life coach - hummmm IDK but definitely dropped knowledge and Max also "read" Vincent very well also but Vincent knew who he was. Max needed that push to become braver than he thought he could be. Awesome reaction guys :)
He just said whatever would help him achieve his goal. He didn’t care about Mad; he had to pretend in order to keep him calm and driving. He is only as charismatic as he needs to be to not appear suspicious to anyone he meets. He asks about Annie to distract Max because Mad was so shook up, hitting the parked cars driving away from the club.
I don't really like the grey beard on Cruise, but the hair looks good 😎 He's very menacing as Vincent and prep training really shows in his precision of movement (I think Keanu took note for John Wick) One of Michael Mann's best to me. I really enjoy the way LA becomes a character as the night rolls on, with more and more city shots, and the story of the MTA death comes back full circle. Jamie Foxx being over his head in a strange hostage situation isn't a new thing for him (see Held Up, with Sarah Paulson) but I love how he plays it here, starting cool with Jada, getting real scared of Vincent, then conquering his fear to come out on top. It's a great character journey.
Another one from my personal top 10! This is a masterpiece of filmmaking...it really is. Also, an incredible performance from Tom Cruise and one of the few movies where he doesn't juat play himself.
When I first watched Collateral 20 years ago I remember thinking the electronic device Vincent had was so cool. I had never seen anything like that before.
Tom Cruise never misses!!! This movie is fantastic!!! Ya'll should watch FAR AND AWAY with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman next if you haven't seen it yet.
Might not be the most popular Michael Mann film but Miami Vice has that same Mann tension and a fantastic cast. The trailer park assault segment is amazing and the dialog is super tight.
Jamie Foxx was double nominated for an Oscar that year 2005 for "Collateral" Best Supporting Actor and for "Ray" as Best Actor. Jamie won the Oscar for "Ray" Best Actor. 🔥🔥🔥
When I first watched this, I have the same reaction as you guys, never seen tom cruise with that hair and being a villain. He killed it! And I remembered Jamie Foxx interview in one of a late night show that when they crushed, they we're IN it! And the staff we're in a hurry, he said he was shove to the side to check on tom cruise😅😂
One of my favorite roles from Cruise, I think the advice he gave Foxx was a reflection of what he wanted/should've done with his own life. He had some good qualities but at some point fell into that life, had a dream that never manifested since he waited, and he ended up old, bitter and doing something he hated like a lot of people 🤔🙁
2 to the chest and one in the head is called the Mozambique Drill. It is an assured stoppage of the threat. Its practiced in by many in close quarters pistol training.
"Statham?! I'm already loving this cast!"
And he was never seen again 😂😭
Quick pay day. Just one line to learn and where your own suit.
😂😂😂😂😂
Some say he’s playing his “The Transporter” character here, same universe. Who knows?
@@joeybossolo7 it is true. that is why he is wearing the suit.
According to legend, another hint that it might be Frank Martin is the slight look of disgust he gives Vincent when he says "Enjoy LA."
Highly underrated movie. Tom Cruise kills it as a villain.

Huge foreshadowing to him getting lucky with the lights at the end. 👏 Great storytelling
It's a very tight script, and the way things circle back around, like a 😵 man on the MTA, is impeccable.

I think Vincent also underestimates Max as well to pick up and shoot him.
@@EJHaviland I wouldn't say max improvised but i agree however vincent got winged earlier which messed up his aim.

This is like a scarier version of Training Day. The LA background, the silence, the introspection and the routine with a dash of hope

So great! I was working at the theaters when this came out and the people that came out loved it it just never brought in a big crowd. So underrated 🎉
This is one of my favorite Tom Cruise films
The director gave Tom cruise a huge backstory. Like even tho Vincent was fictional, the Director created a whole life to present to Tom cruise.
Usually actors would do that on their own if the writer had not already done so.
The director actually did this for all of the characters so the actors fully understood their motivations and actions in the film.
Perhaps tom cruise's finest movie ever. Seriously underrated movie
One of the best reactions to one of my favorite movies.
It's been years since I've seen this movie and totally forgot how many great actors are in it 👏
The swings between Vincent being so cold blooded but then doing things like helping him out with the cab dispatcher - Max was getting whiplash
I see Collateral, I click. And idgaf what channel it is!
Tom Cruise is the GOAT
Tom cruise should Play more villians He fucking killed it As Vincent, Goddamn.

Another one from my personal top 10! This is a masterpiece of filmmaking...it really is. Also, an incredible performance from Tom Cruise and one of the few movies where he doesn't juat play himself.
This is a Michael Mann film you have to watch his other two masterpieces heat from 1995 and the last of the Mohicans from 1992
Mohicans and The Insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino....Mann classics.
Whatever camera or filter they used makes this feel so authentic. Makes me remember being out in La at night.
One of my favorite movies. Amazing soundtrack too!
Great reaction to this classic excellent film guys. This was another Michael Mann masterpiece (along with "Heat").
When I first watched Collateral 20 years ago I remember thinking the electronic device Vincent had was so cool. I had never seen anything like that before.
An immaculately directed, edited and acted film.
20 years old and it holds up. Really great _Long Night of the Soul_ movie.
From Michael Mann, director of HEAT and MIAMI VICE
I grew up in the days of Miami Vice on tv, and no one pairs music with a scene like Michael Mann
내가 제일 좋아하는 톰크루즈영화.... 재미나게 보고가요^^
One of my favorite films.
So good.
Tom Cruise never misses!!! This movie is fantastic!!! Ya'll should watch FAR AND AWAY with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman next if you haven't seen it yet.
Might not be the most popular Michael Mann film but Miami Vice has that same Mann tension and a fantastic cast. The trailer park assault segment is amazing and the dialog is super tight.
Kristen needs to continue the Michael Mann movie train and watch Heat.
KRISTEN AND MICHAEL (the other dynamic duo)!!!!!☺️☺️☺️🤘🤘🤘
Michael Mann is THE MANN!!
Tom Cruise gives an amazing performance. 10/10
One of my favorite Michael Mann Movies 👊😎✊👌😆👍🍁
I wish T.C. would do more movies like this and Rain Man. His career before he got swept in being an action star is pretty top shelf.
Fun fact according to the best hit men list in movies. John wick rank 64th . Vincent by tom cruise is 6th💀💀
Makes you want to see Tom Cruise play the bad guy some more. He's great in this.
Jamie Foxx was double nominated for an Oscar that year 2005 for "Collateral" Best Supporting Actor and for "Ray" as Best Actor. Jamie won the Oscar for "Ray" Best Actor. 🔥🔥🔥
I wish TC would do more villain work. So freaking good.
This is my all-time favorite film!
When I first watched this, I have the same reaction as you guys, never seen tom cruise with that hair and being a villain. He killed it! And I remembered Jamie Foxx interview in one of a late night show that when they crushed, they we're IN it! And the staff we're in a hurry, he said he was shove to the side to check on tom cruise😅😂
One of my favorite roles from Cruise, I think the advice he gave Foxx was a reflection of what he wanted/should've done with his own life. He had some good qualities but at some point fell into that life, had a dream that never manifested since he waited, and he ended up old, bitter and doing something he hated like a lot of people 🤔🙁
2 to the chest and one in the head is called the Mozambique Drill. It is an assured stoppage of the threat. Its practiced in by many in close quarters pistol training.
