I saw Collateral three times at the cinema back in 2004, it's superb. Collateral was one of the very first films to be shot digitally on the Sony CineAlta HDW-F900 and the Thomson VIPER FilmStream Camera along with Zeiss DigiPrime Lenses. 1:08 is one of my favorite scenes of all time, Tom Cruise being the anti-hero really made the film for me and some of his dialogue is unforgettable.

Do you have Ebert & Roper's reviews of The Manchurian Candidate starring Denzel Washington or The Bourne Supremacy from summer of 2004?

[@JasonBagherian]

@@michaelperkowski641 No I can't find those reviews, the latter ones are more rare for some reason. I did find this though kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fOpmhqqJWSZ9U

I remember seeing this review when it aired on their show. Love this movie

[@michaelperkowski641]

Collateral is excellent thriller by filmmaker Michael Mann. Tom Cruise fires up the screen in a outstanding role here as vincent a contract killer. Jamie Foxx is powerful and subtlety role in a fantastic performance as Max the cab driver. I also enjoyed the performance's by Jada Pinkett Smith and Mark Ruffalo and the rest of the supporting cast. Michael Mann does a dazzling job directing the style of Los Angeles at night. Mann knows this city like the back of his hand. Dialogue is superb. I enjoyed the conversations between Cruise and Foxx. Also Jada and Foxx in the cab. The story with Mann directing is a pure adrenaline rush of a movie. The music score is terrific and so are the songs for this film. One of the best films that summer of 2004.

I agree!

[@hamburgareable]

Ditto.

Who would've thought Tom Cruise could play the villain so well?

[@reneedennis2011]

I remember when I went to see this. I also have the DVD 📀. Jamie Foxx deservedly earned an Oscar nomination for this (I'm glad he won Best Actor for Ray, and I went to see that and have DVD of that) I also tripped out at Tom Criuse's villainous performance . This is a riveting film, and a new classic.

The F word on this show?

Ebert's comments did not age well.

[@WorldwideWyatt]

He gave the film a thumbs up and said Jamie elevated to where he could carry a picture as the main lead like he did in Ray and Django. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Doesn’t seem like a miss to me.
