Collateral is a 2004 Dreamworks SKG/Paramount Pictures American action/thriller film directed by Michael Mann and written by Stuart Beattie.

It had moderate financial success, and was pretty well liked amongst critics. Both followers of Michael Mann and Tom Cruise are mostly calling it a very good film, though there has been substantial critical praise for the performance of Jamie Foxx, including a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination.

Plot summary

A cold-blooded, erudite contract killer, Vincent (Tom Cruise) uses a taxi to make his rounds one night in Los Angeles. The first hit of the night doesn't go to plan (the mark falls onto the taxi from a few floors above). Vincent goes to Plan B, in which his taxi driver, Max (Jamie Foxx) becomes a hostage.

Eventually Max realizes that the marks are key witnesses for the prosecution in a court case against an organized crime boss. Max must find a way to save himself and one last victim.
