What happened to Michael Mann? What happened to that unchecked passion? Was it a youthful fervor that made Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, and Heat so good, and a lack of it that make The Insider, Ali, and Collateral so ponderously dull?

A measure of Mann's talent for the quiet comes in an early scene. Max (Jamie Foxx) is driving his cab, and a lawyer (Jada Pinkett Smith) gets in.

Better than ALI. Not as good as THE INSIDER and nowhere near HEAT. Felt like a "little picture" Mann blew off in between more grandiose projects (next up is WW2 epic with Cruise, THE FEW).

In a refreshing change from most Hollywood films, Mann does not allow us a glimpse into Vincent's soul. While Tony Soprano may amble into his psychiatrist's office every week for a heart-to-heart, Vincent remains a closed book, his every move coolly ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Kamera.co.uk
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.56 out of 4 stars for Pajiba (Phillip Stephens)Pajiba (Phillip Stephens)
It’s actually a pity we couldn’t see more insightful interaction between Max and Vincent, for as the movie moves onward, it degenerates further and further toward a typical action-movie cliche. The subplot involving lone detective Ruffalo hot on ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Pajiba (Phillip Stephens)

Collateral is simply a cleverly plotted, superbly directed and acted, high-concept thriller. ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Close-Up Film (Jarrod Walker)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.53 out of 4 stars for Kamera.co.uk Kamera.co.uk
So, although Collateral is fundamentally a high-concept thriller (hit man in town for one night to do five jobs), Mann defamiliarises and critiques such generic tropes, to open out Stuart Beattie's script to explore human dynamics and guide us on a ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Kamera.co.uk
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.53 out of 4 stars for JWR (S. James Wegg)JWR (S. James Wegg)
Cab driver Max (Jamie Foxx) knows LA like the back of his hand, successfully predicting his customer's arrival times to the minute, but, otherwise, seems to have no apparent skills or motivation to move up in the world. Following a half-hearted pickup ...read the complete Collateral movie review at JWR (S. James Wegg)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.52 out of 4 stars for Boston Globe (Ty Burr)Boston Globe (Ty Burr)
Preposterous without being much fun about it. That's a shame: How often do you get to see Cruise play a professional assassin with Bill Clinton's ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Boston Globe (Ty Burr)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.52 out of 4 stars for Tempi ModerniTempi Moderni
Vincent è un killer di professione. Lavora per un’organizzazione di narcotrafficanti su scala internazionale, che sta per essere incriminata a seguito di un’inchiesta federale: i capi organizzano quindi un’operazione che porti all’uccisione di ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Tempi Moderni
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.51 out of 4 stars for Valley Planet (Cody Roy)Valley Planet (Cody Roy)
And this silver theme also applies to "Collateral" as a whole. From the Silver Bacardi ad seated atop Max's taxi to the metallic jungle of downtown Los Angeles streaming past the cab windows, it's obvious that Mann deliberately set out to lace this movie ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Valley Planet (Cody Roy)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for Austin Chronicle (Marrit Ingman)Austin Chronicle (Marrit Ingman)
Ruffalo makes a dent as a dogged narcotics detective, and the Spanish superstar Javier Bardem appears as a crime boss. Overall, however, Mann seems content to play games with his fast cars, cool streets, and loud rock, leaving Collateral squarely within ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marrit Ingman)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for Ryan EllisRyan Ellis
It's a close call, but 'Collateral' just isn't worthy of a recommendation. Mann, Cruise, and Foxx hit most of the right notes, but Beattie the scribe surely does not. Or maybe Mann directed a good script into the ground. In either case, ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Ryan Ellis
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for The Fresh Films Review (Fredrik Fevang)The Fresh Films Review (Fredrik Fevang)
Michael Mann directs this thriller with a fairly effective, brooding stylization. Unfortunately, the story, characters and dialogue is painfully run of the mill. Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx are both cast against type, which is a potentially fresh approach, ...read the complete Collateral movie review at The Fresh Films Review (Fredrik Fevang)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for Andy KeastAndy Keast
"Collateral" takes a unique premise and crafts its elements into some nice set pieces, only to de-evolve into a ridiculous action picture in the last twenty minutes. That's not to say that the film isn't worth seeing; there is some good acting ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Andy Keast
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Ed Blank)Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Ed Blank)
It's a good premise, but although the ostentatious outcome of the first murder might be a flashy selling point in the ads and trailer, its involvement of the cabbie forces the film's already wobbly credibility so far off track the picture can't recover. ...read the complete Collateral movie review at Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Ed Blank)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for The Cinema Source (Bruce Bluett)The Cinema Source (Bruce Bluett)
Collateral surprised me. I must admit, for the first third of the movie, I really had no idea what was going to happen next. I was literally going on a ride, not knowing what to expect. After you see so many movies, you can generally guess which way ...read the complete Collateral movie review at The Cinema Source (Bruce Bluett)
Collateral (2004) scores a combined 2.50 out of 4 stars for The Movie Insider (Dustin Putman)The Movie Insider (Dustin Putman)
Collateral is a challenging thriller for adults, puppeteered by classy filmmaker Michael Mann and aided by his know-how of ratcheting suspense and intrigue out of even the most quiet of moments. There are real ideas and themes explored here—the notion ...read the complete Collateral movie review at The Movie Insider (Dustin Putman)

And he directs Collateral with undeniable flair. His music selection, in correlation with his camera’s coloration, is phenomenal, too.
