    I just remembered this interview with Schwarzenegger when he was promoting that movie Collateral Damage and the reporter asked him what the movie was about and he stopped to think for like 10 seconds and said "Well it's about Collateral Damage" and I laughed about it for a week

    The best part about this is I know half of you are going to devolve into fights about what other movie is really his best, but it's COLLATERAL. Absolutely flawless film. Whereas HEAT, as much as I love it, has this scene:

    Older films shot on digital when it was new looks great because of this. Movies like Hana and Alice or Collateral, they chose the specific digital cameras they wanted for that movie and liked how the footage looked through them, so they didn't bukkake the entire footage with post processing

    Collateral: In a film all about the random nature of existence, I love that Max realises that he hasn’t got a chance in a gunfight with a professional killer. So he decides to just shut his eyes & keep shooting. Vincent taught him too well.

    By the way Arnold Schwarzenegger’s assessment of Mr. Freeze’s one weakness — love — was correct. Indeed, Arnold’s weakness in ALL his movies made during that period was love. (End of Days, Collateral Damage, etc.) Because he is a great film artist whose movies tell a cohesive story across decades.

    It’s been frequently noted, but “Heat” is a movie about liminal spaces - places between places. It begins at a Los Angeles metro station (see also: “Collateral”) and ends at an airport. There’s a shoot in a drive-in movie theatre carpark. Hanna and McCauley meet on a highway.

    Who else is going to raise her two children to become future grifters? Apparently, the doc and many people discussing her now seem to forget the guy she drove to suicide and the patients who received false diagnoses from the bullshit machine. Collateral damage exists outside of a movie screen.

    Hot take. HEAT, MIAMI VICE, and COLLATERAL are all fine movies, but they don't hold a candle to Mann's earlier work in THIEF or MANHUNTER. I respect that he wanted to experiment with digital, but his lighting and colour choices just look best on film, no question. Also, they are just better films.

    Michael Mann's COLLATERAL is a sneaky masterpiece. It's an arthouse film disguised as a sort of identikit action picture. It's the only film I have ever seen where I managed to forget that I was watching Tom Cruise. It also has a superb, sly joke involving a Jason Statham cameo.

    Collateral, Michael Mann’s film about a contract killer (Tom Cruise) carrying out hits along with the driver of a cab (Jamie Foxx) he has commandeered. Foxx’s cab driver’s unrealised idealism has a great tension with Cruise’s nihilistic “man-of-action” outlook. Visually impressive too.

    It's never officially used in the actual movie, but Tom Cruise's character name in Collateral is "Vincent Collateral." That's enough to push that from a five-star movie to a six-star movie in my book. 20 out of 10. No notes needed, no notes given.
