Movie Review: Collateral


This amazing performance by Jamie Foxx got him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. Some say Tom Cruise deserved a nod for his rule, but I disagree. I didn't see the depth that Foxx gave.

A cabbie stumbles into a murder plot and tries to negotiate for his and other people's lives. There's a girl, Jada Pinkett Smith, who ends up being Cruse's character's ultimate target.

I think it really shows the difficulties when dealing with a sociopathic personality. I enjoyed watching the cab driver maintain his goodness throughout the film. He just keeps trying to do the right thing and keep his life.

The DVD can be found in Bandon, Coos Bay and Powers. VHS copies at the branches in Dora, Powers, Coos Bay and Coquille.
