Good acting, ridiculous story. The premise of the film is so far beyond absurd it made me laugh aloud. I watched 50 minutes and couldn't stand no more. Avast, me hearties! Arrrrr!!

this ain't any of your business..

Collateral

With an interesting premise, highly packed content and a big star cast it starts off light and easy but doesn't hold enough grip to hold the audience.

This film is a very competent thriller where an ordinary taxi driver ends up involved in a series of crimes, as his nightly passenger turns out to be a professional killer, hired to kill several people in one night. The plot starts from anThis film is a very competent thriller where an ordinary taxi driver ends up involved in a series of crimes, as his nightly passenger turns out to be a professional killer, hired to kill several people in one night. The plot starts from an excellent idea but the unfolding of the film reveals a lot of plot holes. This is its main problem. Gun shots that miss the target in a weird (but convenient) way, astonishing car crashes where no one gets hurt and other unrealistic or convenient situations complete the script's problems. The best in this film are the action scenes, truly capable of making us forget (or forgive) the mistakes I mentioned. The way the characters are presented and developed is also very good. Taxi driver Max is the most blatant example. In the beginning, he was perfectionist, dreamy and shy but he manages to overcome these blockades and face the problem where he was involved. This made him dear to the audience, who cares about his fate.

The work of the actors is very positive. Despite being the most popular name in the cast, Tom Cruise deserves no more applause than Jamie Foxx, who shone in a way that didn't allow Cruise to dominate. In fact, it's unusual to see Cruise, an actor used to histrionic roles, in a character as calm and restrained, but that pleased me a lot. Jada Pinkett Smith plays the lady in distress satisfactorily, but it never ceases to be a cliché. Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem are also part of the cast, but the plot doesn't take much of their talent. Cinematography is very good, betting on close-up, aerial or scenes with the camera in motion, which gives greater movement to the film. Good special, visual and sound effects complete the good technical details of a film where only the screenplay is deficient. But event this is going to be a lesser evil if we get carried away by the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Achei o filme meio arrastado, principalmente na parte da balado com os japonêses e pro arco final. Cara e teve o problema da cena do hospital que não tem motivo plausível pra ele não ter gritado por ajuda sabendo que ele n ia matar todo mundo dentro de um hospital, mas enfim. Muito legal a sequência final de fuga tirando aquele final criminoso do Max conseguindo matar o Vincent nada haver KKKKKKKKK. Sobre os diálogos eu queria falar que eu sabia onde deveria chegar e eu adorei quando o Vincent fala que ele é alguém que só fica pensando em fazer e não age não liga pra mulher não começa o negócio, mas isso faz o Max instantaneamente virar outra pessoa faz ele agir achei forçado mas ok de resto as falas não achei muito bom não é um filme ok no geral.… Expand
