[@Qichar]

Ironically I think that after tonight Max probably ends up turning his life around. Having faced death, he realizes that the risk of NOT taking chances is bigger than ending a long life without ever having really lived.

[@TfiveR]

Cruise under-rates himself not taking more roles like this. He was SOOO GOOOOD! Michael Mann knows how to make a script have meat on it that actors can chew on. Everyone in this film crushes it, and that's a matter of excellent casting, but also an amazing story.

[@jsdzx]

I completely agree. As good as he in action films he really got way more that he could tap into.

[@mholmes8352]

I agreed completely.

[@TfiveR]

@@jsdzx I like that Mann had a whole life's history for Vincent. Pictures of places where he'd "lived", etc. Not a word of it is spoken in the film, but it's still up there on the screen through the performance.

[@AkersJohn]

I'm not saying he's Daniel Day Lewis or anything, but Cruise can be a dramatic/serious actor, and do it well. You saw that in his early career (Born on the 4th of July, etc). I know he has a lot of stuff going on in his personal life, but I also think he may enjoy all the input he gets to have for projects like Top Gun, Mission Impossible, cheesy stuff like "Knight & Day". In Collateral, especially with Michael Mann, he definitely got a lot less. One col thing though was all the work Cruise put in to handle a gun correctly (like a special forces type would). Unfortunately, Michael Mann (writer/director of Collateral, Miami Vice, Heat, Public Enemies, Blackhat... which flopped), is working on Heat 2 currently, and is getting up there in age. But casting someone in their late 20s/early 30s to be "just out of the military Vincent" would be interesting. I say he was in the military as there's a line in the film where Jamie Foxx's character asks "how long have you been doing this?" (referring to Vincent being an assassin) and Cruise goes "privately? 15 years" or something like that. So you can assume he was special forces or something of the like.

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

This and tropic thunder are two of my favourite Cruise movies. Movies where an actor can really portray a character. It was extra great that it's also outside of Tom's 'general' roles of being a 'hero' or 'favorable' type character. He was given a sketched character and he completely painted the role into a colorful artwork that belongs behind bulletproof glass under security surveillance in a top notch Museum. Likewise, Tropic Thunder was a movie where he was given even more artistic freedom and he completely nailed and decimated that part into legend status. Cruise is a man that really understands and feels his 'career' in acting. He doesn't 'play' an actor. He IS an actor. He doesn't 'play' a role, he IS that role. When the general actor 'crowd' is essentially a Pontiac Fiero pretending to be a Ferrari, or a BMW with some M badges slapped on it, Cruise takes the sweat and effort to go all the way and hand-craft build a 1:1 replica of a Ferrari, and then adds some extra flair on it. He doesn't slap a fake M badge on his BMW, he INVENTS a motorsport division and beats the original. The only people who do that or go that far are the people WILLING to go that far because they have a DRIVE for it, and this is absolutely unquestionable about Tom Cruise, his drive and willingness to take up an acting role and legend the SH1T out of it is otherworldly, I think Tom Cruise as a mafia 'godfather' type of crime head with some really dark and bad personality treats would be immense. I don't want to see Cruise as some 'heroic' Iron Man. That's boring af. I want Cruise as a Corleone, as a 'Hans Landa' without any of the 'humor'. Dark, relentless, calculated, smart, unhinged, corrupt and neigh unstoppable.

In a way, we all respect Vincent. A total PROFESSIONAL and COMPETENT! Excellence always sells.

[@Henry1965ism]

"How long you been driving?" "12 years." "Really?" Note the look on his face at 0:34 when he says "Really?" He knows Max is just a dreamer. Recall at the end of the movie Vincent says "Because you were never going to do it anyway." when he berates him. Although Vincent is a cold contract killer there's a lot of hard truth in what he says. A lot of people have dreams and say they are going to do this and that but never actually do anything meaningful to make it happen. And then Vincent says to Max "And one day you're old."

It's a permanent hustle for me. I'm not saying no to an instant payday

[@knickknackpattywack]

Cruise really needs to play more villains.

[@justicewillprevail1106]

No one sees Tom cruise as headcase. I think those who thinks he’s a headcase are the real headcases that needs to get a life and stop hating.

[@seyumaiayami3536]

Toms probably best line from a movie. "Nobody notices" when someone dies.

Listen to Mann's commentary. Vincent's questions are probing, very much in a power-play Pinter-esque way, to get a meek and compliant cab driver. He posits, "How many other cab drivers did Vincent have before settling on Max?"

[@nyesExpress]

Vincent was so trusting. He gave Max a $300 advance and left his suitcase in the back. Many drivers would've bailed

"All it took was a down payment on a Lincoln Towncar. Tf are you still doin' driving a cab?"

[@Dewoy1]

Tom is so good, his facial expression looks so sociopathic in a suddle ways when he set in the back of the car. And the way he moves looks like a predator hunting its prey.. He played that so well! Especially all the gun scene. Looks like he´s been doing this for years. (reaching for guns while keeping it cool).
