Collateral

This is why I find going to the cinema such a depressing experience. I start out all perky 'Great, we're going to the movies' only to have those dreams crushed a few hours later by interminable tosh like this. Tom Cruise is a poor cross between Clint Eastwood and a Richard Gere character (any of them really from American Gigolo to Internal Affairs - both excellent films) made all the more obvious by Cruise's immaculate grey rug. It doesn't know what kind of film it is, neither funny nor scary and surprisingly for a Michael Mann production lacks the visceral thrills of his trademark loud rock music, guns and cinematic violence.

On the upside Bande a Parte is available in Fopp for a tenner (classy BFI release too) - watch that instead.
