Collateral
[SPOILER WARNING. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW DETAILS ABOUT THE MOVIE.]
Finally caught Collateral before it totally died in the movie theatres... had to go all the way to Tampines Mall to see it, and nearly got lost in the highways along the way! Edwin said that it was mad that I went all the way to see a crappy show on my day off at 0830am, but what the hey, once it goes off the screen, it pretty much stays off the screen (unless it's got Frodo in it, then it comes back in IMAX, bigger and more expensive than ever).
I thought it was a pretty okay movie - nothing particularly fantastic about it - so Tom Cruise is a killer, and Jamie Foxx is the innocent "collateral", extra person beside him, his sidekick. Big deal.
However, I liked how I really didn't know who to root for in the movie. Tom Cruise vs Jamie Foxx - JF is the good guy, but Tom Cruise is... Tom Cruise! How can he be the bad guy? 'Surely he has some redeeming quality, something which will save him from being arrested or killed at the end,' I thought to myself. Nothing. I don't even think we got his character's last name.
Worth a weekday watch, not worth it for anything beyond $6.50.
