I saw the movie Collateral.. here is the review
Storyline taken from mybc.com:
A cab driver finds himself the hostage of an engaging contract killer as he makes his rounds from hit to hit during one night in LA. He must find a way to save both himself and one last victim.
Script:
With Michael Mann involved in the movie, I knew off the bat the movie was going to be well written before stepping into the theater. My instincts were 100% right. The dialog was the best dialog I've heard in months. There was humor tastefully added to the script, written in a way that didn't break the intensity of the film.
Acting
It was not Cruise's best work but his acting in this movie did intrigue and surprise me. Cruise stays true to the character of Vincent, never winking or forcing a change of disposition on the role. Jamie Foxx wasn't bad either but the portrayal of his character could've been better. This has been a stretch for Jamie considering some of the rules he has been given in the past. Jamie has proved that with a little work, he can tackle some more dramatic roles and be phenomenal at it.
Hair/Make-Up/Costume:
At first I was very annoyed with Tom Cruise's peppered grey hair but it eventually grew on me 30 minutes into the movie. Tom Cruise in the movie is supposed to be in his 40's but the hair/make-up job didn't portray his character physically the way it should've. Even with the grey hair, Cruise looked 20-ish.
Cinematography :
Very good camera angles used. Good Dolly tracking and panning which played up the intensity of the movie.
