Watched this recently having not seen it in years. It didn't hold up as well as I'd hoped, but still had some great moments. That scene you mentioned for sure, and of course, standout similarly small roles played by Gary Oldman and James Gandolfini. Yeah, I think it holds up just OK. I'm pretty much with you. Not as well as i thought it would. And yeah, the Gandolfini role is great. His scene when he's calmly giving the speech while beating the shit out of Alabama? So good. And another gentleman mentioned Tom Cruise. And he mentioned his criteria: Not being aware you're watching the actor, but rather the character he is playing. Well, Tom Cruise meets that criteria in Collateral. When I watch it, I feel like I'm watching an Ice Cold, Bad Ass professional hitman, as opposed to a whacky. borderline midget, secretly gay, couching jumping Cult member. I agree, Cruise was good in Collateral, though it's been a while since I've seen it and don't remember all the details. I think his best performances were probably either Rain Main or Jerry Maguire. I mean, he's generally good in most of his movies, just nothing that makes me say "Wow, give him the Oscar right now." |
