Collateral
  

The Collateral was made in 2004 and is a crime thriller and the stars which acted in this movie are Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. This movie was directed by Michael Mann.  In this movie it is about Jamie Foxx who's characters name is called Max being a normal cab driver and he is dropping people off and then he Vincent who is Tom Cruise, so as he gets into the cab he has told Max where to as they have arrived, Max has stayed outside to wait for him to take him to a different place. This movie had made over $101,005,703 in America only and in other countries it had made $116,758,588 so in total it had made over $217,764,291.



The picture of the thriller above shows Tom Cruise as the man person as he is the only person on the picture which indicates that this movie is about this man and what he is going to do, furthermore it also shows in the background a cab which shows that he may be doing business in a cab and making the driver take him different types of places. This is shown in the background maybe it may have a something to do with it as Tom Cruise doing stuff with the cab. Lastly at the bottom of the of this poster it says ' It started like any other day' this may show that Tom Cruise is doing this job daily and doing what he does best, on the other hand it may indicate what the cab driver is thinking that he thought it would be just a simply day but turned out differently.

The trailer below shows what are the main parts of the film. At the being of the trailer shows what Jamie Foxx does for a living and what job he has, furthermore it also shows Jamie Foxx talking to somebody who is in is cab, but we don't know who it is. In addition it also shows what somebody is offering him some money which shows that there might be a business deal going on which shows that he needs Max to do the business with him. As we go on we see Max to eat we see his cab and then we see a man hit his cab as he was falling down in the air. Then Max finds out that Vincent had killed him.





In this movie there are many scenes where they have used a digital camera. In one particular scene when the coyote is running across the road shows which shows that they had used low light which allowed the Mann to film the coyote to without to set the light up.

So in this scene below it shows Max who is Jamie Foxx is tied up to a steering wheel which shows that he has been captured or taken as a prisoner and as he has wants help, two to three men have came and Max thought that they cam to help, however it turned out all wrong because they are now stealing from him which shows that Max is stuck both ways and one of the men had taken the briefcase of Vincent which shows that he needs the briefcase to do his job. So as Vincent comes out he finds out that they have take his briefcase and talks to them. So as he is talking to them the man that had the gun had pointed it at Vincent then Vincent gets his gun out and kills the men that are there expect for Max.





The scene below shows when Max and Vincent get stopped by the police. In this scene it indicates that the police have spotted something strange about the cab and made them stop the cab and ask them questions. So as they have pulled over to one side they are going have told Max to give him his licence and registration so they can look at if he can drive or not, so as it goes on he is stalling the officer by telling him different stuff so it shows that he is stalling so they won't get caught. In addition to this it also shows that one of the police officer has seen that the glass is smashed and seen blood on the top of his cab, so Max has to lie and say that he had hit a deer so that he wouldn't get arrested. Lastly as they have pulled them over they have told Max to open the trunk however there is a dead body in there so that if they find out they will get arrested, however they got a last minute call saying they have to be somewhere else so they did not have time to see the trunk.




Lastly in the scene below we see when Max and Vincent are going to meet Max's mother who is in hospital. So in this scene we see when both of them come in, after and gave his mother flowers, however she doesn't like the flowers but Max tells his mother that Vincent had got her the flowers. So the mother has found out that there is someone is in the room. As he tells his name they start to talk and the mother gives Vincent all the information that Max has given to him that he runs a limo business and drops famous people off. This hows that Max was not telling the truth to his mother as he is a cab driver.
