This movie is a classic and a masterpiece to me, I felt everything he aimed for while watching it.

[@southbeachmiamiart895]

Actually there's a flip side that you'd agree with me on. This script was tossed all around until Michael Mann made it happen. Russell Crowe and Adam Sandler were supposed to be the original actors. Sandler would play the cab driver. It was a great film but the other cast would take the cake.

[@StephenWest-t2v]

Jamie Fox repeating Vincents words as Vincent for the very first time is almost exactly halfway in the movie. And when he does you are very much still in the scene with him, where he is in the moment. But it also made you look forward and know that there was going to be an actual collision with the Vincent character, and not simply getting steamrolled by Vincent. Its actually quite rare to have such a clear concise "here we go" kind of moment in a thriller.

Watched it a few day ago because I came across a photo with gray Tom Cruise on the internet and I shocked how good the movie is and nobody talk about it.

[@thedabara2477]

This movie is seriously underappreciated. Mann seems a little manic, but you can't argue with the end result. I can appreciate some of the effects he works hard to achieve. For example, the color of the cab under different lights is real and I understood Mann's insistence that these details have an emotional component. I thought of this beautiful metallic blue Cadillac that was our family car in the 60's. Under the streetlights in Amarillo, in that era, it became a weird purple. As a kid I thought, man, people are going to think we have a purple car. I wasn't altogether comfortable with thinking that I could understand Mann's perspective. He's a bit of a weirdo that mostly presents as a normal human being.

[@aretepp]

How did Tom Cruise not get an Oscar for that performance?

[@southbeachmiamiart895]

The way he drew his firearm and his attitude. I only give this film a B+ because this script was tossed all around until Michael Mann made it happen; he should have had Russell Crowe and Adam Sandler who were supposed to be the original actors.

Are they literally brothers? Who knows, but the two movies are connected in all sorts of ways, no doubt about it. Mann book ends the films with the same shot. Heat begins with a train entering a station, coming towards the camera and carrying the film's anti hero protagonist into the movie, so to speak. Collateral ends with a train leaving the very same station, moving away from the camera and the audience, carrying the (now dead) anti hero out of the movie.
