Collateral - Max meets Felix (Jamie Foxx, Javier Bardem)

Max impersonates Vincent and meets Felix, the Mexican crime lord.

[@carlnixon5141]

This scene illustrates how Max is actually learning from Vincent who talked about improvising and adapting to situations.

[@drdsgolf]

Exactly! Max knows he has unfulfilled potential, it rises to the top against Vincent.

Little fact about the club they shot at, El Rodeo was actually shut down because of their ties to the Sinaloa cartel and money laundering, in this movie Vincent is employed by The Sinaloa Cartel. Referenced only in the movie by the city of Culiacán where the cartel is based out of.
