Collateral - (2004)
First of two quick DVD hits...
I loved Jamie Foxx in this. His 'ordinary guy' performance is what makes this movie work. If he wasn't so damn believable I think it would just be another action/suspense movie.
Tom Cruise is a great villain too, (though what the hell is up with the white hair???)
Great script. Classic 'wrong place/wrong time' story. Kept me guessing throughout and even managed to surprise me on a number of occasions.
Rating: R+
