Collateral movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Intelligent, elegantly written and well-acted. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Collateral is a small, modest movie writ large by people so talented, they aren't capable of anything less. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: An expertly-made thriller. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A crime drama made with immense skill. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It's straight-up entertainment, not something to see and then talk about a month later, but definitely something to enjoy. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This is a tense, first-rate thriller. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A thing of lean, cool beauty, the movie's a killer showcase for Foxx and Cruise. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Mann never lets the audience settle into familiar patterns, crafting a moody, mesmerizing battle between good and evil. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Collateral is the kind of sleek Maserati that can make men weak in the knees, but the sad truth is that it has a straight-4 under the hood. Read more
Los Angeles Times: Collateral crackles with energy and purpose, a propulsive film with character on its mind and confident men and women on both sides of the camera. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: The best thing Mann brings to his picture is a strong sense of time and place. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Mann brings some of the style and assurance he brought to Heat and Thief. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: A suspense thriller with little real suspense and few thrills. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Arguably the best studio film of the summer. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Cruise and Foxx are so good together because they allow the two characters to get under each other's skin. They're buddies and enemies at the same time. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Reminiscent of the orchestrated mayhem of vintage John Woo, this is showpiece kinetic filmmaking. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: A suspenseful, jolting and even thrilling ride. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: A throwback to Mann's 1995 Heat. Read more
Newsday: Mann's film makes Tom Cruise fun to watch again, because he occasionally plays someone besides Tom Cruise. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Most of the time we are with Cruise and Foxx, and their interplay is never less than galvanizing. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Feels a lot like the sort of stock, early-'80s thrillers that Mann once tried to make extinct. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Though it is a far less ambitious entertainment than Tarantino's masterpiece, it has its moments. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: As violent thrillers go, Collateral goes down quite nicely, stirring up hardly any acid reflux at all. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: Pitched between interludes of anxious intimacy and equally nerve-shredding set pieces, Michael Mann's edgy new thriller scores its points with underhand precision. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Throughout the gruesome cat-and-mouse game being played by Vincent and Max in Collateral, there's something psychologically, dramatically and even sociologically interesting going on. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Yet another lackluster late-summer thriller. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Collateral isn't a shockingly original motion picture. But the strength of the lead performances and the stylish direction of Michael Mann obscure the weaknesses in plotting and credibility. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: This is a rare thriller that's as much character study as sound and fury. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: After that promising start, Collateral ratchets down, gradually, to being only average. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: It's too bad that halfway through, Collateral turns into a series of loud, chaotic, over-the-top action set pieces in which the existentialist Mann proves he's lousy at action. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Well-cast and well-acted, top to bottom. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: [Tom Cruise has] never been this convincingly wicked. Read more
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine: As much a dark, odd couple comedy as it is a quirky, efficient little thriller. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: This intensely focused piece soars not only on the director's precision-tooled style but also on the outstanding interplay between leads Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: A slim drink of thin beer, remarkable only as evidence that Mann might have a modern masterpiece in him if he were cut loose and allowed to roam around in his own obsessions. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: If Collateral is all formula, it's polished to a fine sheen. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Collateral is the best kind of genre filmmaking: It plays by the rules, obeys the traditions and is both familiar and fresh at once. Read more
