Director: Categories: Rated: R Running Time: 2 hours Synopsis A taxi driver is unexpectedly taken on the ride of his
life in this stylish thriller from acclaimed director Michael Mann. Max
(Jamie Foxx) is a cab driver who hopes to some day open his own limo
company; one night behind the wheel begins promisingly when he picks up
Annie (Jada Pinkett Smith), an attorney working with the federal government
who is attractive, friendly, and gives him her business card after paying
her fare. Max thinks his luck is getting even better when his next fare,
Vincent (Tom Cruise), offers him 700 dollars in cash if he'll be willing to
drop him off, wait, and pick him up at five different spots over the course
of the evening. Max agrees, but he soon realizes Vincent isn't just another
guy with errands to run -- Vincent is an assassin who has been paid to
murder five people who could put the leaders of a powerful drug trafficking
ring behind bars in an upcoming trial. As circumstances force Max to do
Vincent's bidding, the cabbie has to find a way to prevent Vincent from
killing again and save his own skin, a task that becomes especially crucial
when he discovers Annie is one of the names on Vincent's hit list.
Collateral also stars Mark Ruffalo, Peter Berg, and Bruce McGill as police
detectives hot on Vincent's trail. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
