Collateral
I was super-stoked by Collateral. It's not every day that you get to see such a fine example of on
screen chemistry and badassery. Tom Cruise as the hit man was bad-freaking-ass, plus-five.
Both lead roles were superbly acted, the script was without par, and the direction was flawless.
But, man, what's up with happy endings? I thought the commercial success of the Dawn of the
Dead remake would be enough to sway audiences towards the 'root for the bad guy' crowd;
apparently not though. What I wanted to see was Tom Cruise kill Jamie Fox, that federal
prosecutor chick and just about everybody else. Then I wanted him to hijack an ocean liner and
start his own country called Super-Badass Land. That would have rocked. Instead, he had to die
on a subway after being shot by a cab driver. I'm not saying that something such as this hasn't
ever happened before, but it's still lame.
