Thoroughly enjoyed this film. I hope Duncan Jones continues to make solid sci-fi flicks, because he's very good at it.

Collateral

Vincent is one of cinemas greatest villains. This is Tom Cruise's absolute best performance. He's not fantastical in any way, he's just a man who has disconnected himself from society. To quote the movie Alien he's a survivor unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. Well, maybe he has different kinds of delusions of morality. I guess. You think you have him figured out as this enlightened Tyler Durden type during the film, yet at the end, he surprises you with a statement that recalls one earlier in the film. Deep down inside he's just as human as Max, with his own insecurities making him a tragic contradiction.

Max's character arc is superb. You don't get something that well developed very often. He has evolved from where he was at the start of the film. You don't normally get that in a hard boiled noir film. Usually the protagonist starts off as a strong, cynical character and doesn't change. Max is a weak but hopeful man and despite the horrors he witnesses, he doesn't ever lose his optimism as a human being. Even when he realises Vincent was right and that his life had been a waste of time, his very next action is born out of a sense of hope. The subtleties Mann uses to show Vincent was the catalyst of Max's evolution, are just as impressive as the beautiful exchanges between the two in the cab. In the scene with Felix, he consciously says phrases that Vincent had used earlier in the film, to save his own ass from being killed, at the end, when he decides to be a hero and try to save Annie, he incapacitates a cop, using a judo move similar to what Vincent was doing in the nightclub and then completely subconsciously quotes Vincent. Though in hindsight it's quite disturbing that it's the Vincent's of the world that lead by example. So go out and take a risk. You never know where you might end up.

5/5

Wow, you got alot more out of it than I did. You must have love this then. This was about the only Mann movie I was actually into. Heat having some exceptions. Vincent is definitely Cruise's second best, with his performance from Magnolia being first. But I loved him in this role. Mark Ruffalo also had a good role.

"You killed him."

"No I shot him. The bullets and the fall killed him."

Then when he owns those thugs.

My favorite scene from that movie.

Die Hard

Perfect way to spend a Saturday night. Although it's a pain in the ass when there's two great movies on tv.

Pocket Money - 8.5/10

Early Malick. Shame that his wry script's held back by restrained direction, which only fits with the non sequitur in common methods. I liked it a lot, but it's a blessing that he was able to direct his own scripts after this, Deadhead Miles and The Gravy Train.

8.85/10!

 

[Vengeance of Bane]

Insidious 9/10. Bring your diapers that's all I can say... Bring your diapers 'cause I soiled myself.

The Warriors

Now this was a hidden gem... for me anyway. I really enjoyed this. Which is strange for a movie that actually encourages chavs.

3/5

The Ten Commandments (1956)

"BEHOLD HIS MIGHTY HAND!!!"

 

[hammerhedd11]

Same here. I can definitely see this becoming a cult classic. I didn't expect it to be so disturbing though, you can definitely tell Gunn likes him some Troma films.
