Collateral (DVD)

Michael Mann directs this stylish crime thriller, in which Tom Cruise is cast against type as assassin Vincent, who hires taxi driver Max (Jamie Foxx) to take him to five different addresses over the course of one evening - and to wait outside while he carries out his ruthless business. As Max becomes aware of Vincent's true purpose - and realises that one of Vincent's potential victims is Annie (Jada Pinkett Smith), a young, friendly and attractive lawyer who rode in his cab earlier, he must find a way to prevent Vincent from killing again - and to save his own skin. Mark Ruffalo, Bruce McGill and Peter Berg co-star as the three LAPD cops hot on Vincent's tail.
