In a move that will shock all right-minded cinema goers, Tom Cruise is bearable in the movie Collateral. More than that: he’s actually pretty damn good. Playing the confident straight forward killer seems to be a role that he was made to play, pulling it off with a degree of style that gets you on his side.
The film itself is the tale of a fairly ordinary cab driver who, upon accepting an all night fare from Cruise, begins becoming more and more unstable as events unfold.
Tightly shot, well paced and Hollywood dialogue at a minimum, Collateral is a very pleasant piece of cinema. Kudos.

A touch off-topic (the film is ace, see it), but I’m chuffed to see you’ve got a comment ping implementation up and running. Three cheers, dude!
Cheers,
Derek.
