You know the people who complain that Tom Cruise isn't a good actor? Well, those people clearly never saw Collateral (2004), Michael Mann's insightful thriller that puts Cruise and Jamie Foxx in the driver's seat.
Collateral's hook is actually the least interesting thing about it - the conversations between Cruise and Foxx are where the film comes alive. Mann elevates the action with a gripping dichotomy between a heartless terror succeeding in his career and a decent, honest working man falling asleep at the wheel as the world passes him by.
