Digital Max Dvd Driver

Mann understands the value of good characters and likes to keep the camera close to them so that the viewer is able to study, avidly, their interactions with one another (check the restaurant scene in Heat). He is also a very patient filmmaker -- despite having a career spanning thirty years, he's only made sixteen films, which is considerably lower than the average filmmaker. He takes his time developing his stories, with a great eye for detail, in a bid to develop tension and then enforce a sense of urgency as things come together towards the finale.

Collateral is Gripping

In Collateral, Mann is able to keep us gripped for the duration of a two-hour long story thanks to his incredible sense of pacing. There are many things to enjoy here, including his stylistic digital cinematography, the seemingly-authentic action scenes that surprise and excite, Jamie Foxx's solid performance as an everyman-turned-hero cab driver, and even Tom Cruise's unthinkable performance as a cold-blooded killer.

The premise is a simple one: Cab driver Max (Foxx) is on the hunt for fares one night and unknowingly picks up a hitman (Cruise). Vincent, as he's called, offers to give Max $600 if he is willing to chauffeur him to various locations around L.A. so that he can meet a number of business clients. As we and Max soon find out, however, these "clients" are actually targets that Vincent has been contracted to kill by his superiors.
