Collateral

Jet, August 9, 2004 by Sylvia P. Flanagan

For the last 12 years Max has been a cab driver who has seen many faces come and go through his rear view mirror, people and places he has long since forgotten until tonight. Vincent is a contract killer who arrives in Los Angeles and five bodies are supposed to fall. Circumstances cause Vincent to hijack Max's taxicab and Max becomes collateral-an expendable person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Vincent forces Max to drive him to each assigned destination. As the LAPD and FBI race to intercept, Max and Vincent's survival becomes dependent on each other in ways neither would have imagined. Starring are Jamie Foxx, Tom Cruise and Jada Pinkett Smith, who stars as United States Attorney Annie Farrell.
