Sorry for being so late on this upload, with personal life stuff and our internet for some reason being stupidly slow; it took forever to get it uploaded but here we are!

This is by far my favorite Tom Cruise role. He was so cold and ruthless

Between his performance in this and "Interview with the Vampire", I honestly don't know why Tom Cruise isn't cast to play villains more often. He's PHENOMENAL at villains.

Tom Cruise running after you is the scariest thing in life.

Collateral is such an underrated film…🍿

In the scene where Vincent kills the two guys in the alley, the script calls for the whole shooting sequence to take place in 1.5 seconds, but Cruise did it in 1.3 seconds which is phenomenal.

“No, I shot him, the bullets & the fall killed him”😂

LOVED tom cruise in this role! it's so rare for him to play the bad guy.

Love Tom Cruise as a villain. Lestat and Vincent.

I think Max was growing on Vincent as well. Unfortunately Vincent was going to kill Max at the end of his mission. Remember Vincent said anonymity is how he survives & Max knows what he looks like. Also remember detective Fanning mentioned that months ago a cab driver was found murdered after several other unexplained murders had been committed in one night hours apart. My guess is that was Vincent's handy work🤔

There is a lot of things in this movie. Connections, metaphors, foreshadowing, etc When Max is giving her a ride at the beginning and they have 0 traffic, Max says he "Gets lucky with the lights." In his shootout with Vincent the lights on the train go out for a moment. That's when Vincent's training and how he shoots fails him. He fails to see Max move and you can see his execution wound pattern (Mozambique) in the bullet holes on the door. He missed Edit: Also the reason Vincent couldn't reload was becuase that is not his weapon. He lost his in the crash. He stole it from the guard. So after his stolen one ran dry, without thinking, he instinctively went for a reload but when presented with no magazine he then realized no spare magazine is available.

Tom Cruise plays a textbook sociopath too damn well, It's scary. On the surface Vincent seems like a cool, fun even nice guy. But the truth is he is a sadistic killer.

The alleyway shooting is textbook how you take down 2 assailants that are armed. Cruise had to take lessons from experts to make the scene authentic looking.

Michael Mann is well-known for his portrayal of villains. Heat and Public Enemies are another great examples. There is no black or white but a very big grey area between the characters. Max's development as a character is mainly due to Vincent's ideas.

At the end when Vincent sits down after he realizes he's been shot, it seemed like he wasn't even mad that Max killed him. In fact in his last moments he almost seemed like he was ok with it.

Collateral is my favorite film of the last 20 years. It’s so unique and seamless. This is both Michael Mann’s best film and Tom Cruise’s best performance and both deserved Oscar nominations. Also, this movie actually put Jamie Fox on the map and he was nominated Best Supporting Actor. The 2 big themes of this film that you alluded to are (1) Vincent and Max slowly taking on traits of each other as the movie progresses. Vincent becomes more human and relatable and Max toughens up. (2) The film is filled with coincidences and foreshadowing: Vincent ending up in Max’s cab right after he meets Annie and she’s his last target, the 2 cops getting the call to the crime scene of Vincent’s first kill which inadvertently saved their lives, Fanning in the same elevator as Vincent and Max at the hospital, Max telling Annie early on “I got lucky with lights” and the lights on the train went out long enough to help him in the final duel with Vincent, and Vincent dying the way he described at the beginning. And none of this feels like an insult to viewer intelligence but an actual smartly crafted film.

One of my favorite Tom Cruise movies, Tom did in this film what Denzel did in Training Day , played an awesome bad guy. Something we never seen either do before. This came out the same year as RAY, Jamie got an Oscar for that but he was also nominated for this too. Jada was so pretty in this but she was always pretty. Cant believe the was SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO!!!!! 😳🕰👍🏽

This is a good movie. Imagine how Max feels to know that he took out a high level assassin. Lol. Doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to get an ego trip over something like that, but still.

React to Heat - 1995, same director, starring Pacino and De Niro...certified classic

The opening scene with Jamie and Jada is worth the price of admission, such amazing chemistry.

That shooting in the alley has to be the fastest pistol shooting I have ever seen in my life.

One of my favorite movies. Cruise kills it in this, the atmosphere's peak and the acting is to die for.

I'm not always crazy about Michael Mann's filtered film look, but this is such a darn cool movie. And Tom Cruise as an antagonist? Hell yes!

I remember watching this movie in theaters and completely lost myself in the movie....It was amazing in the Theaters....

Man I would love a Prequel to Collateral that is about Vincent, basically his origin story. That would be so awesome.

This movie is a masterpiece. And Tom Cruise is phenomenal in this.

I remember going to see this at the movie theater! Collateral is a terrific movie!

“Think anyone will notice?” That ending gives me chills. Music swelling as the dawn comes in like “Wow thank god I’ve made it to the next day.” Amazing thriller!

This movie is AWESOME, one of my favorites! Best Jaimie Foxx performance, love Cruise as a villain👍 (AND yes, that was the Transporter at the airport) I've ALWAYS wanted to know Vincent's real backstory, where he got his 'code'. I think this was a Michael Mann movie, love his stuff. My favorite scene is the alley when Vincent takes back his briefcase (Mozambique drill!)

I’ve shown this movie to so many people, and this is the only time anyone has ever recognized Mark Ruffalo before he spoke lol

The jazz connection is the fact that Vincent thinks on the go and adapts, which is what Max learns to do, then flips the car. Also, Max shoots in a circle, shooting around the doors and through the window while Vincent is stuck in his routine of shooting straight, so the doors end up saving Max

Collateral is a great movie. Jamie Foxx was actually nominated for an Oscar for this, before Ray. He didn't win for this but did for Ray

Dudes, when i watched it in the movies when it came out i tripped hearing how realistic the gun shots sounded in that alleyway attempted mugging scene. Comparable to Heat and Dunkirk.

I always loved this movie. Not many people react to it so this is awesome. 💕

I don't think Vincent wanted to kill Max but he was going to. Vincent's plan was to kill max after he did his jobs, originally I think he might have let him live if the guy hadn't fallen on the cab but it's suggested he might still have killed him. Ultimately he liked Max & I think that played into his mind subconsciously which is why Max succeeded.

Was so excited when I saw this. Wish more movie reactors did this movie

Yo I have been waiting for someone to finally watch this, what a movie, you got a new subb

I am so glad you watched this movie. I had not seen it since it was in the theater. I forgot how much I love it. I love your take on why Vincent didn't kill Max. I think he would have eventually killed Max, can't leave behind any witnesses. The code of hit men.

" A Bronx Tale " 🤞🏼

Please react to "Four Brothers" directed by the late great John Singleton. You guys reacted to a few of his films: Boyz n the hood, Poetic Justice & Higher Learning.👍

Max: 'You take the cab...I'll just chill here" Vincent: "you mean you promise not to tell anybody?" Max: "yeah I promise" Vincent: "get in the f*cking car" HAHAHA

Vincent smokin those guys in the alley was awesome! Thanks guys great movie

Vincents professional and zero hesitation approach with fast, accurate gunplay feels like the inspiration for John Wick movies. A lot of how Vincent moves and deals with stuff is easily recognizable in the John Wick movies as well. Overall Collateral is a fantastic thriller with suspense, action and of course the moral of the story; don’t just talk and procrastinate about what you want to do in life. Go out and get started on it.

Director Michael Mann flat out has a gift with this genre. Great Reaction/Movie! Pretty Please do HEAT 1995 NOW!! Mann’s best movie & best heist movie ever!!

Tom Cruise shows he can act , he isn't just a action star , Born on Fourth July,Last Samurai,Interview with the Vampire.

This is such a masterpiece. Michael Mann is an awesome director. So many good movies on his resume: Heat, Manhunter, Insider, Miami Vice

Can you guys watch “ Baby Boy” next

Good film choice. I love this film. Tom Cruise is always a hero, the good guy. You never see him play the villain. But he was such a narcissistic psychopath in this flick. He didn't buy flowers because of some sliver of humanity in his abused soul. He did that because that's what a son visiting his mom in the hospital is expected to do. Appearances. Attention to detail. Max was never going to get those hundred dollar bills. Ruffalo detailed the m.o. of a killer from an unsolved case where a cabbie was used for hits. Max would be killed when he had served his purpose. Good movie, good reactions. Another great Cruise movie is RAIN MAN, also starring Dustin Hoffman. I'd like to see you guys react to that. But i'd really like to see you do POINT BREAK with keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. The original (1991), not the remake, which sucks. Thanks -

I read somewhere that Jason Statham's part was his Transporter character

I loved this movie. You don’t often see Tom Cruise as a cold blooded killer. He was excellent and scary. Scarily efficient. There were some twists for sure. Just a good movie. Loved your reactions!

Underrated film.. one of my favorites.. can always tell when you're watching a Michael Mann movie.. soundtrack is wicked good.. audioslaves shadow of the sun saved in my playlist..

I'm glad you're dog is ok & please y'all gotta react to Baby Boy.

This movie is epic so under rated. The cast, the story, the action. Great. The only thing I don't like is the was Vincent died. Dude was a complete bad ass the whole movie and got killed by a guy shooting blind in the dark on a moving train. Lol.

One of my favorite pics, has you on the edge of your seat, beginning to end......#greatchoice

It's hilarious that you mentioned the people fighting in the back seat. I drive for Uber, and I hear conversations like that at least once a week.

“Is it morally correct…….probably not , but hey he’s taking me to jazz so why not” lol the words of a smart man 👍

I freaking love you guys lol. Mainly because your reactions are so genuine and not forced lol. Also, I appreciate all of the previous movies you watched that were huge staples in black American culture back in the 90s. Much respect. But African American films or not, I love your vids.

12:15 Who knew we needed Tom Cruise and Jaime Foxx to act their ass off in the same movie. Love it

Dude, first 3 minutes and I'm already laughing "Receding Hairline, yeah, nothing sketchier" LMAO

When the first murder goes to hell, and Max is panicking, Vincent draws his gun and says, "red light max". When Max realises the failure of his life (thanks to Vincent), he puts his foot down in the car, Vincent says "red light". Love those little circles in the film.

I watched the making on this movie and Tom Cruise said that every character he has played. He has always given his characters a backstory. Which is a brilliant formula for any actor to do.

I believe it's stated in the movie by the cops that something similar happened to another cab driver who went nuts, killed a bunch of people, then killed himself, which I believe is to imply that Vincent had done this before and then killed the cab driver as a cover for his crimes. Also if you loved this movie you might want to check out other films by this director, Michael Mann, who also directed "Heat" (1995) and "Manhunter" (1986), great movies.

Such a crazy Action Crime film from Director Michael Mann, where an assassin for hire uses a taxi driver as her personal chauffeur to kill his targets, namely mob witnesses.

Tom Cruise should play villains more often. He absolutely crushes this role.

you should watch how cruise was training for this role. Its pretty interesting.

Very common misconception is that a handgun is easier to shoot than a rifle, but that is the total opposite in that case. dare you to try and hit something with a handgun : P thats why the moves in this by Cruise are dope and impressed back in the day. Mann always seems to like proper gun manipulation and techniques with firearms which i always appreciated.

"Tom Cruise can ROCK anything he wants" That's so RIGHT. LOL

You guys totally got sucked in by the superficial charms of a sociopath. The reason he got Max's Mom the flowers is not for her, it was because that's what you do when you visit someone in the hospital.

What's cool is, some people were saying Jason is his transporter character in this movie and made a quick cameo.

These action sequences reminds me of John Wick. I wonder if the Wick movies took inspiration from Collateral.

Collateral and Last Samurai are the best movies of Tom Cruise in my opinion.

"He's not a bad guy. He killed many people, but he bought flowers."

"guy gets his nap snecked..." I fuckin lost it for like 5 minutes dude.... That shit happens to me all the time... Spoonerisms, is what they are called. I also sometimes Transpose entire words in a sentence too, like, "I was trying to get an under the job table" or asking my friend, "hey, you want a glass of Alex, water?" But "nap snecked" is fookin classic!! I love it!

This is in my top 3 Tom Cruise roles.🤗

Javier Bardem played Felix in this... No Country For Old Men is another great movie that stars him

"That's rough". "It's Mark RUFFalo" is an underrated moment.

Dammit! I have been waiting for someone to react to this movie! Thank you twins!

It's not that Vincent is devoid of emotion, it's just that he has the ability to turn off his empathy and sympathy when he is on the job. He can distance himself from his actions and feels little to no regret behind them. He's just the ultimate professional in his line of work. Outside of that, he's just a good guy with upstanding morals. He cares about other people, hates the general lack of empathy and care people have for each other, and goes above and beyond to try and help those who have some form of struggle. Just don't get in the way of his business. Besides the ending, this is one of my favorite movies of all time.

there is a video of an ex delta force singing tom cruises praise for the scene in the alley where he takes out the two thugs

Tom and Jamie’s best performances, a great film!

This is one of my favorite thrillers. I just don't like that they left the ending open with police and criminals thinking Max is Vincent.

Yay! Loved it! Thanks guys!

I think Vincent saw something of a redemption for himself in Max, a guy who he could have been. Maybe you could argue that keeping Max alive was a valid thing to do because he was a known quantity to help him through the mission for the night, but perhaps also after all those conversations Vincent felt like he wanted to help Max grow a little in the process.

He's giving away his private island 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yall are hilarious keep up the work fellas!!!!

Love the reactions bro keep them coming

13:24 And THAT, guys, is John Wick style ten years before they made John Wick.

To me, the flowers thing helped illustrate how Vincent was a sociopath. He doesn't feel things like normal people, such as remorse for killing. He pretends to help fit in. And that was the flowers for your mother thing was. To him, that's what a normal person would do. And pretending to be normal is his camouflage, so he does it. Granted, I'm a fan of deeper psychology in characters, so it's probably unlikely for most folks to see this connection like I did.

“Nah i just got lucky with the lights” max says this to both vincent and the lawyer and in the end it’s what saves him. Max again gets lucky with the lights, the lights cut out and he stumbles to the right firing through the door. vincent does his signature mozambique drill (2 in the chest one in the head) you can see the bullet holes in the door dead center where vincent WAS standing right before the lights cut…

After watching the film a second time to enjoy your review, I'm struck by the fact that the story appears to be left with many unresolved plot points: the one policeman that believed Max was innocent is dead, Xaxier Bardem's character has put a killer on Max's tail, and the policeman at the taxi crash site can identify Max as a potential murderer. I guess the female prosecutor can square things to some extent, although she's still on Bardem's kill list.

Freaking dope you are reacting to this movie I requested. I know you didn't choose because of me but still cool.

This was one of the best years for Jamie Foxx. Cause not only did he get an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor for this movie but also best actor for Ray with the latter being the only one he won. After that he was now a full blown a lister making movies and occasionally making songs and no longer doing standup

One of my top 10 favorite movies

Yay!! One of my favorite movies of all time!!

I enjoyed your discussion after watching the movie. Love the channel

1) That was Jason Statham as The Transporter delivering Vincent's mission package. It was a deliberate tie-in. 2) It was Vincent's plan from the start to frame and kill Max. Det. Fanning at one point comments on the similarity to a past case where a cab driver killed a bunch of people in one night, then himself, suggesting this is Vincent's typical M.O.

Absolutely love you guys and your reactions, so genuine, funny and lovable. Since you asked have you seen 'Tucker & Dale vs Evil'? Its about Two lovable hillbillies are headed to their "fixer-upper" vacation cabin to drink some beer, do some fishing but then something happens. Its a fun little movie. In some ways you two often remind me of the leads and their lovable good-natured vibes and I feel everyone needs a little tucker and dale in their lives. Anyway keep up the great reactions, they always bring a smile to my face .. unless the films are sad of course.

Vincent: "I do this (killing) for a living!" Oh, well if you do it for a living. That's okay! I'm sorry. I thought you were doing this for fun! By all means, go ahead. 😂

Watching this before bed love you guys

Y’all gave a great reaction to this movie

You are watching my man! Huge Cruise fan...this is a great movie.
