Collateral (2004) - Full Reaction
Added 2025-04-06 08:31:07 +0000 UTCI had to rewire my brain for most of this one, I don’t want to spoil but not the usual Tom Cruise character-or Jamie Foxx for that matter. The longer I think about it, the more questions pop up for me about the plot haha -but it was suspenseful and I kept accidentally holding my breath from stress!

Finally got around to watching this one. I only saw this movie once when it came out, and all I remembered about it was that Tom Cruise played a bad guy, and that I had no interest in watching it again. On second viewing all these years later, I can see why. It's a pretty good movie but it's just a one-and-done movie in my opinion. Perhaps that's because there's no closure, so it leaves you feel unsatisfied. They should have showed us a happier ending with Max being cleared and owning a limo service instead of leaving it open like that. As is I can't help but think, in the real world Max walking around with a gun sticking out of his pocket like that wouldn't end well, even if he wasn't a suspected hitman. Just saying! Glad Cassie enjoyed it. Was fun seeing her reaction to Tom Cruise in this unusual role. And now she knows, Tom Cruise did gun-fu first!

2025-04-24 01:46:35 +0000 UTCWas really fun to rewatch this with you! I remember not being able to hear this movie very well during my first watch, and I had forgotten most of it from the first contract killing to end on the metro subway. I couldn't remember at all how they got to the subway. it's funny to me how much watching car films filmed in LA since 2014 now just look like I'm playing Grand Theft Auto V. The car crash even happened in the spot with those huge banners, very recognizable to those who've played the game. I hadn't seen this movie since my family rented it from Netflix when the DVDs came in the mail. Wow, that feels to me now like a CENTURY ago as far as technology is concerned.

2025-04-08 15:19:13 +0000 UTCAll this talk about Coyotes has me thinking we should exhort Cassie to watch WOLFEN during October. An underated horror verité with Albert Finney, Edward James Olmos and a great supporting role by the late, great Mr. Happy Feet himself, Gregory Hines. Caught this at a film festival when I lived in LA and it had me looking over my shoulder every night (more so than usual).
