When cautious taxi driver Max Durocher (Jamie Foxx, Oscar-winner for Ray and star of Django Unchained) unwittingly picks up the enigmatic hitman Vincent (Tom Cruise, celebrated for Top Gun and the Mission: Impossible franchise), his routine night of fares turns into a high-stakes odyssey across Los Angeles. Along the way, Max races to save innocent targets and protect Annie Farrell (Jada Pinkett Smith, known for Set It Off and Gotham), while Detective Fanning (Mark Ruffalo, acclaimed for Spotlight and Zodiac) pieces together the city-wide killing spree. Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall) delivers a chilling cameo as Felix Reyes, a businessman caught in Vincent’s path. Roxy & Aaron break down every pulse-pounding moment—from the iconic opening pickup and tense freeway shootout to the haunting subway standoff and rain-soaked finale that solidify Collateral as a modern crime classic. Dive into our in-depth reaction and review as we explore how Tom Cruise’s cold precision, Jamie Foxx’s everyman heroism, and Michael Mann’s signature style combine to redefine the thriller genre. #Collateral #TomCruise #JamieFoxx #MichaelMann #CrimeThriller #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #RoxyStriar #AaronAlexander #reaction #movie #react #film #reactionreview # 0:00 Checking In! 3:21 Collateral Reaction 30:37 LIQUID IV 32:18 Collateral Movie Reaction 59:55 LIQUID IV 1:01:08 Collateral Review Become A Super Sexy Reject For Full-Length T.V. & Movie Reactions! https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

Collateral is one of those rare thrillers that gets better every time you watch it. Cruise is chillingly precise, Foxx brings so much humanity, and Mann's use of digital night cinematography makes LA feel like another character. Absolute masterclass in tension and atmosphere! Highly underrated film and one of my faves! <3

I always thought that the grey hair was to create a symbolism with the wolf, lone wolf, grey fur, cold eyes, a sad killer.

"Yo homie, that my briefcase" is an iconic line in cinema

I love the way this movie portrays “LA at night” as a ghost town, with only small isolated islands of human activity. Not accurate in any way, of course, but deeply evocative and almost dreamlike - capturing how Max and Vincent feel.

The fact that Mark Ruffalo’s character has such a story and screen time and then just gets gunned down without a second glance by Vincent I think is such a move by the film.

That gunshot in the alley is the most realistic sound for a movie I've heard.

Jamie was nominated for an Oscar for this. Overshadowed by none other than himself for his other Oscar nomination the same year for Ray, which he won

Vincent wearing gray suit with gray hair in my opinion represents his nature he's not all evil and he's not good he's in the gray between good and bad That's what I think at least
