In a rare turn, Tom Cruise takes an role as a villain in Michael Mann's Collateral. He's not your average action villain, but instead a crime villain. So, in crime the villain would be the gangster. But, Collateral is one of the few movies that shows the point of view of someone working for a crime boss. A hitman. On an average night in nighttime L.A., Tom Cruise 's character, Vincent, has just another job to carry out. And Max the cab driver played by Jamie Foxx, drives him around to his targets. At first, Max thinks it's all fine, but Vincent's true nature is revealed when his first target falls onto the cab, alerting Max. The chemistry between Vincent and Max is already great due to good acting, smart dialogue, and good character development, but its the smallest part of the plot. Soon, the cops and crime leaders are all over Vincent, and even Max steps up. Collateral delivers all the thrills you expect from an action movie, while still being as smart as a crime mystery.
