I absolutely like this film, a touching record of the relationship between an apprehensive but passionate postal carrier and the Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda. As Neruda and his poetry advise the mailman in the ways of like, a courtship blossoms that has all the humor and bittersweet missteps of the precise thing. Director Radford uses a light touch to illuminate the modern relationship between the exiled poet and an ordinary man. Massimo Troisi as Mario (the postman) turns in a pleasing performance that should not be missed; his characterization of a clueless man desperately in adore with both words and a woman cannot be forgotten. Likewise, Philippe Noiret as Neruda provides a memorable portrait of a man who can forget the power of his words.

I can’t wait on comparing “Il Postino” to “Life is Blooming”, also an Italian film that relies on initial humor to dwelling up the distress found in the human heart. “Il Postino” is more subtle, however, and more realistic. Quiet, those who enjoyed “Life is Splendid” should also like “Il Postino.”

I recommend this film highly. You don’t need to know anything about Neruda to savor it; all you need to be is human.

Il Postino is a fantastic and heartwarming adaptation of Antonio Skarmenta’s original, El cartero de Neruda, which is not likely to disappoint audiences who are prepared to peruse a foreign film with sub-titles. The movie is certainly not a tear-jerker, but any viewer will salvage themselves becoming emotionally attached to its characters and highly affected by the fate which befalls them.

The film, directed by Michael Radford, is the sage of a humble Italian postman who is greatly changed by the distinguished Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda for whom he works for in a runt Italian village. As the audience, we peruse their acqaintanceship as it changes and eventually develops into a just and unforgettable friendship. Without a doubt, some audiences will salvage Il Postino plain because of the simple spot and the lack of sex and violence. Nevertheless, it is an an emotional and much movie that I highly recommend because of its strong character portrayal. In my notion, Il Postino is truly successful because of its incredible acting by Massimo Troisi, who accurately portrays the innocent postman as well as Philippe Noiret, who is a very endearing and improbable Pablo Neruda.

In addition to the acting, the Italian landscape is a breathtaking and integral piece of Il Postino. Radford effectively incorporates the glorious mountains and seascape as the story’s background. It is a refreshing decision by Radford which only adds to the poetry which Noiret recites periodically throughout the film.

I am certainly the type of person who prefers the book to the movie, but in this particular case, I feel that the movie surpasses the Skarmenta’s fresh by far. I recommend this movie to anyone who is tired of movies with gratuitous sex and violence as well as hackneyed forumlas. The sub-titles are by no means a hinderance to the film and I guarentee by its demolish that you will be fascinated by the Italian language.

very scrumptious escapist saturday afternoon stale technicolor flick. “routine” is also what Leonard Maltin has termed this movie but i agree with someone online at Amazon that says he can be a snob at times. I savor obvious 2 and 3 star films as distinguished as some of the highly lauded ones and this falls into that category. If u like the outmoded western respectable guys against the dreadful decently done this will fit the bill superbly

Here we have accurate Randy Scott in a friendly railroad Western flick, well worth watching from time to time. The supporting cast is elegant, and Columbia Studios did an valid job in their production; suitable color print.

It was such a top-notch surprise to glimpse this one released…FINALLY!!

Even my kids bask in it, so the comedy has not lost any of its shine over the decades.

Recommended Highly, Have Fun.

This movie is a perfect companion to Tony Curtis’ other auto car run movie, The Titanic Rush. The package shows the aspect ratio as 1.78 widescreen, which would have the whole cover of a HDTV. The true ratio shows as it should be having been filmed in Panavision as 2.35:1.

This is my well-liked Buñel film. The memoir is stunningly presented, an absolute work of art, unbelievably subtle but always concrete. It is like a mountainous symphony: every heed is perfect.

Surprisingly (considering the title) Le journal d’une femme de chambre is not about sex, nor is it a journal for that matter. It is about politics, sexual politics of course, but also domestic politics, manor politics, and nation-state politics. The time is the thirties as fascism moves toward its mesmerizing stranglehold on a decadent Europe. The spot is France (Normandy, I imagine) where the republicans maintain power. In the streets are those who would be brown suits and among them is Joseph (Georges Geret), groundskeeper for a little bourgeois family of degenerate eccentrics. He is an incipient Nazi, a xenophobic anti-Semitic man who worships brute force, an ignorant man that every French movie-goer knows will be a Nazi-collaborator once France is under the occupation.

The memoir is seen from the point of idea of Celestine, a chambermaid of some sophistication (and an abiding, but understandable duplicity), a Parisian who has advance to work for the family in the country. She is played by the incomparable Jeanne Moreau of the plastic face, a woman of many guises, many moods and an ability to depict with a eye any emotion. She is a grand star of the French stage and shroud who plays the share effortlessly, with finesse and a exquisite subtlety. The screenplay by Buñel and the gleaming Jean-Claude Carriere (who penned so many outstanding films, Bell de Jour (1967), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), Valmont (1989), The Ogre (1996), etc.) is an adaptation of the unique by Octave Mirbeau. There is a Hollywood film of the same name starring Paulette Goddard, Burgess Meredith and Judith Anderson, directed by Jean Renoir that I haven’t seen, released in 1946. I understand the treatment was more comedic and faded.

Surrealist Luis Buñel’s film is perhaps best described as a comédie noire, a genre antecedent to the familiar (and somewhat similar) film noir. In the latter the comedy is usually incidental and there is no attempt at any mammoth philosophic or symbolic significance. Here Buñel not only makes a statement about the nature of the relationship between bourgeois Europe in the thirties and fascism, but even delves into the primeval nature of women and gives us a exciting scrutinize at a woman’s station in bourgeois society. Celestine is duplicitous because she has to be to survive. She uses men the design the society uses her.

Be distinct and pay stop attention to the final scene inside and outside the café and deem the implications of what is being shown. What is being suggested? Will Joseph finally procure the punishment he so richly deserves? Or did Celestine earn the choice she made out of apprehension? Is the union between Joseph and Celestine symbolic of that between the fascists and Europe?

For those enthusiastic in this last theme I highly recommend Vittoria De Sica’s luminous The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1971) .

Second movie of spanish director Luis Bunuel to have the honour to enter the most praised Criterion DVD collection after THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE a few weeks ago, DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID is presented in a perfect widescreen gloomy and white copy with a well-balanced sound. As bonus features, you will devour a theatrical trailer, a printed interview of Luis Bunuel and a 25 minutes interview of screenplay writer Jean-Claude Carrière who wrote or co-wrote some of the most indispensable movies of the last thirty years.

Adapted from a modern of Octave Mirbeau, DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID was directed in 1964 by a Luis Bunuel already sanctified by two generations of movie lovers. French actor Michel Piccoli replaces the bunuelian Fernando Rey in the role of a member of the bourgeoisie slightly decadent and ridiculous. Jeanne Moreau (Jules and Jim), as the chambermaid, is a young woman coming from Paris and discovering what is like to live in the “deep” France of the early thirties.

DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID can not be classified in any specific genre. It’s a comedy yes, but with a very serious cancel in the middle of the yarn. It’s a detective memoir yes, but with harsch political critiques. In fact, it’s simply a Luis Bunuel movie with his original personal world impregnating a original he admired from his childhood on. Highly recommended.

This has always been one of my approved movies. I’ve unbiased watched it for maybe the tenth time, and my jaw hurts from the constant grin, along with a toddle or two, that viewing this film produces. The tale of the inhabitants of “The Footlights Club”, those struggling young actresses pursuing the glory and heartbreak of show-biz, is unprejudiced as new and witty as when it was produced in 1937. Katherine Hepburn was somewhere in the midst of her “Box Office Poison” phase when she made this film. She is amazing as “Terry Randall”, the heiress attempting to live in anonymity to pursue her starry dream, against the wishes of her wealthy father. She is assisted in all this comaraderie by the now legendary cast of Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, and Ann Miller. Other than Rogers, all the others were relatively unknown at this point, and their intimidation at the prospect of working with the Sizable Kate has been often told. Ann Miller was but a babe here, and we win to gawk her tap!, something she later became very renowned for. Also, our beloved Lucys wisecracking and dead-pan humor foreshadow her future greatness as the worlds common t.v. clown. This superbly written film, taken from the play by Edna Ferber and George Kaufmann, is fleshy of witty banter, repartee, occasional sweet sentiment, and tragedy, as the ravishing gaggle of girls try and constantly out-talk each other. It is rich with astounding character roles, the stand out being that of Constance Collier, as the older resident drama coach and musty actress. She is absolutely hysterical in her delivery, as she attempts to thunder anyone who will listen about her acting glory days of past, always accompanied by the showing of her old review clippings, which always unprejudiced happen to be at hands approach. There honest aren’t any amazing character actresses like this anymore, or, if there are, the roles for them are few and far between. In actual life, Miss Collier, notorious for her Fresh York soirees, was Katherine Hepburns drama coach and dear friend, and, on her death in the mid-1950’s, Miss Hepburn inherited Miss Colliers secretary, Phyllis Wilbourn, who remained with her for over forty years. Miss Collier was also drama coach for the tall Garbo, as well as, for a brief time, her beloved Marilyn Monroe (Read “A Glowing Child” by Truman Capote.) Some may net definite scenes and acting styles in this film dated, but, if so, don’t let that distract you from its timeless wit in its depiction of those who will risk all to carry out their dream of their name in lights. This film also has one of my accepted endings and fade-outs, which always leaves a smile on my face. A classic.

“The Philadelphia Memoir” brought Katharine Hepburn’s film career befriend from the oblivion of being considered “Box Office Poison” by the nation’s theater owners, but she was making a string of suitable pictures moral before that classic 1940 film beginning with 1937’s “Stage Door.” Her next two films were “Bringing Up Baby” and “Holiday,” both with Cary Grant, and all four films have Hepburn playing a rich girl. In “Stage Door” she is Terry Randall, a debutante and wannabee actress who comes to Novel York City to become a Broadway star. She moves into the Footlights Club, where she joins a company of abominable, starving young actresses who are all trying to form it in note businesses.

Terry ends up rooming with Jean Maitland (Ginger Rogers), an acid-tongued but softhearted dancer. The two trade barbs over everything from Terry’s extensive wardrobe to Jean’s affair with Anthony Powell (Adolphe Menjou), a Broadway producer who is working his procedure through an endless procession of young women. His next gigantic production is “Enchanted April,” and in order to pick up funding he is cornered into giving the inexperienced and patently inept Terry the starring role. The allotment should have gone to Kaye Hamilton (Andrea Leeds), a talented actress at the club who is broke and on the verge of starvation. When Terry gets the share Kaye is crushed.

Based on the play by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, the script by Morrie Ryskind and Anthony Veiler retained the basic residence line regarding Terry, Jean, and Kay, while provided some fantastic crackling dialogue amongst the girls (some of which was supposedly based on overhearing the actresses chatting during rehearsals) . One of the prime attractions of the film today are the faces that would become familiar in the future, such as Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, and Ann Miller.

The prove share of the film is the play-within-the-play sequences, which was remodeled after a scene in the third act of “The Lake,” the inferior Broadway play were Dorothy Parker got off the celebrated shot “Katharine Hepburn ran the gamut of emotions from A to B.” This is where the notorious line “The calla lilies are in bloom again” is uttered by Hepburn. In rehearsal she butchers the line and the scene in the most horrendous fashion. But then, in the colossal tradition of opening nights in such films, Terry turns in a transcendent performance. The comparison of the two scenes is expansive evidence of the range of Hepburn’s acting talents at this point in her career.

Admittedly it seems uncommon that Terry could be so inept, but the transformation is rewarding, as is the payoff of the film. However, Hepburn’s performance was apparently overshadowed by the realization that Ginger Rogers was also a stunning fine comedienne as well as a gigantic dancer. Smooth, it is the ensemble nature of the film, with all those wisecracking young girls trying to get it in the large unpleasant city that is the prime attraction. “Stage Door” received Oscar nominations for Best Narrate, Best Writing (Screenplay), Best Director for Gregory La Cava, and Best Supporting Actress for Leeds.

I wasn’t expecting too distinguished from this anime, so I came in with an launch mind. For the Maze series, the OAV’s came before the TV series and thus with the OAV, you gaze situations that are more for adults and the TV series, things are toned down for the children who advance home in the afternoons in Japan.

With that out of the contrivance, the series was absorbing and it did hold my interest. It’s not a obedient anime but it was spirited. The anime though is not as inviting as other OAV’s that came out during the mid or behind 90’s. It seemed like TV quality OAV’s.

As for the DVD, special features include the first episode of the series (is this a special feature? ) and a “meet the cast” which is nothing and the trailers which are from Hasegawa Katsumi’s (screenwriter) other works.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Maze! Click Here

Perhaps if I had a DVD-Rom, I would say more determined things but at this time, if you can rent it…rent it. It is a noble anime but again…nothing big.

The 2-episode OVA deals with Maze and friends in the kingdom of Babylon. While it’s only a single event in an RPG timeline, the producers decided to load this with tons of slapstick and fan service (hence the nudity and the interrogate shows) . Of course they could have toned it down (and removed the scene where male Maze raped Mix and turns out she liked it) Other than that you won’t like the characters unless you study the TV series. The belief is slightly different from Ranma because we have two different personalities inhabiting the same body (unlike Ranma who as a girl somehow retains his male preferences and attitude) An OVA should be a retelling of a TV series with fewer episodes and more artistry, but here they fair went crazy. It’s mild watchable and delectable, but recognize the TV series first if you don’t want to be set off–they shouldn’t have released this before the series. The 13up rating should be a 17up.

Chuck Jones: Memories of a Childhood

Tom and Jerry: The Chuck Jones Collection

(Released June 23, 2009 by Warner Home Video)

Another Long DVD Review by Joe Torcivia

It must have been one heck of a surprise for the theatrical audiences of behind 1963 to spy the familiar MGM Roaring Lion signal the beginning of the upcoming cartoon - and have the head of TOM travel into its state and go “MEOW! MEOW! FST! FST!”. …I know it was for me when I first saw it on television!

But, with this revamped opening, well-known animation director Chuck Jones began putting his trace on Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera’s cat and mouse team of TOM AND JERRY.

Chuck’s fresh vision and execute sense would guide Bill and Joe’s creations for runt more than three years and 34 cartoons, and it is those cartoons that gain up Warner Home Video’s release Tom and Jerry: The Chuck Jones Collection.

We’ll crash the review into CONS and PROS.

The CONS:

Content Notes: Once again a WHV space has NO Assert LISTING anywhere inside the package! One disc is on a “hinged holder” and the other disc rests on the inside support wall of the packaging! But, beyond that, there is no list of titles for the cartoons and, while they follow the order of novel theatrical release, this isn’t something that even most hardcore animation fans have committed to memory, powerful less mere civilians. Ditto on listings for the extra features.

This is at least the THIRD Warner Animation plot I’ve purchased this year with no notify notes! The others being Max Fleischer’s Superman and Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Volume 1. Doubtless, there are others indicating an uncomfortable trend in Warner’s DVD packaging for animation sets.

Talent: It’s not Bill Hanna, Joe Barbera, and novel composer Scott Bradley. Let everything that follows in this review lie within the context that these three talented individuals are who set aside Tom and Jerry on the pop culture intention to discontinue!

The Place Itself: A minor “con”, but the fact that it IS “The Chuck Jones Collection”, coming on the heels of three volumes of the unusual Hanna-Barbera shorts, means that there will probably be no DVD release of the 13 Gene Deitch T&J shorts of 1960-1962.

I was actually hoping for a “Tom and Jerry in the Sixties” dwelling that would encompass the runs of both Deitch AND Jones… but, clearly, Jones is the more marketable name and he gets the call - and we may never be treated to the “otherworldly wonders” of Mr. Deitch.

The PROS:

Talent: It’s Chuck Jones - and, by this time in the 1960s, there were few, if any, talents to truly rival Jones - and he’s brought a few archaic friends with him…

Writer Michael Maltese, co-director and designer Maurice Righteous, direct actors Mel Blanc and June Foray (…with Blanc doing the “yelling in wound” as Tom. I guess they couldn’t expend Bill Hanna’s classic “AAAAAAHHH!” anymore!), and composer Eugene Poddany.

Put them all together and they made 34 spellbinding cartoons that looked better than the any of the competing product of the day.

Style: During this period, Tom and Jerry were “Jones-ified”. There’s probably no better plot to assign it. Jerry became “cuter” than ever before, and Tom took on the “villainous” physical characteristics of Jones’ Daffy Duck and especially Wyle E. Coyote. The animation was lush for the time, and Jones’ trademark character posing abounds.

The Extra Features: “Tom and Jerry and Chuck” is a 20 dinky feature on the coming together of this unlikely trio, and is narrated by June Foray. Many parallels are drawn to Jones’ prior Warner Bros. work - in both characters and plots of specific cartoons. It is also shown where Jones assign his maintain perambulate on T&J plots previously produced by Hanna and Barbera. The feature is punctuated by frequent clips of Chuck Jones, in his later years, speaking on the subject.

In its 25 minutes, “Chuck Jones: Memories of a Childhood” covers what is found in the first three chapters of Mr. Jones’ 1989 book, “Chuck Amuck”, in his bear words and pictures. This 2008 documentary featurette was produced for Turner Classic Movies and, while very informative, does not mention Tom and Jerry at any time. Give it points if you’re a Jones fan. Purchase away points if you’re a Tom and Jerry fan. You resolve!

Print Quality: To my eyes, and on my equipment, the prints are nearly flawless for average age 45-year-old cartoons. Far better than the print quality on the aforementioned Max Fleischer’s Superman and Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Volume 1.

Menus: For reasons unknown, Warner’s DVD animation position main menus often have unusually LOUD background music or “series themes” that play while the menu is displayed. So loud that I’ll either Restful while lingering on the menu - or navigate off the menu as like a flash as possible. Tom and Jerry: The Chuck Jones Collection is an exception to this, as an “appropriately sixties” portion of cartoon theme-style music (the opening credits theme for “Jerry, Jerry, Quite Contrary” by Dean Elliot) plays at an equally appropriate sound level. THIS SHOULDN’T EVEN NEED TO BE LISTED AS A “PRO”, but the loudness train is so prevalent on Warner animation plot main menus that such a welcome change should be renowned.

The Cartoons: (Categorized as GRADE “A”, GRADE “F” and everything else falls somewhere in between!)

GRADE “A”:

“Pent-House Mouse”

“The Cat Above, The Mouse Below (Tied for Best!)

“Snowbody Loves Me

“Abominable Day at Cat Rock

“Of Feline Bondage”

“Duel Personality” (Tied for Best!)

“Jerry, Jerry, Quite Contrary”

“Filet Meow”

“Cat And Dupli-Cat”

“The Mouse From H.U.N.G.E.R.”

“Surf-Bored Cat”

All other shorts drop somewhere below “A” and above “F”, including…

A SPECIAL ODD-HONORABLE MENTION: “O-Solar-Meow”, “Guided Mouse-ille” and “Near And Be Mechanized”. Chuck Jones was the master of the “Duck Season / Rabbit Season Trilogy”. These cartoons compose up his “Robot Cat / Robot Mouse Trilogy”! Not titanic, but not bad either.

GRADE “F”:

“Matinee Mouse” and “Shutter Bugged Cat” For their jarring utilize of faded Hanna-Barbera stock footage - and for using it without Scott Bradley’s music! A double demerit!

The cartoons more than average out to a “PRO”! And so does the DVD residence as a whole.

In the final analysis TOM AND JERRY, under the stewardship of Charles M. (”Chuck”) Jones, was mountainous and unusually innovative at its beginning - but, unfortunately, began to peter-out as Jones stepped further and further away from it.

The best entries were where Jones, Michael Maltese, Maurice Obliging and Eugene Poddany came together as a fair creative force, experimenting all the blueprint - and the lesser entries occurred when they did not. Though writer Bob Watch contributed some marvelous exceptions to this rule throughout the speed.

As a DVD collection, the cartoons in this position are well worth multiple viewings and will provide many hours of enjoyment. (I watched “Surf-Bored Cat” four times in one day!)

Even the lesser efforts were among the best (…if not ACTUALLY the best) theatrical moving shorts of their time. Keeping it in THAT perspective, I recommend this site to anyone with an interest in Chuck Jones, Tom and Jerry, and the engrossing shorts of the sixties. If you bask in some qualified worn (stylized) fun in your cartoons, this is for you!

Best section about this release is the liner notes. Authored by Martin Grams, it reveals objective how and where they filmed each scene for the chapters, character actors in slight roles (such as an unbilled Alan Ladd) and more. I recommend you read the liner notes before watching the serial so you have plenty to inspect out for during viewing. Makes viewing more fun.

I got this on VHS like the first one and am satisfied this is also coming out on DVD. I consider Warren Hull portraies the Green Hornet as well as Gordon Jones did. Watching both serials in a row it seams to be one spacious movie since they both go togather so well. If you like adventure and superheroes these two serials are a pleasant chose.

Max (Jamie Foxx), a worn cab driver who dreams of owning a limousine service, picks up Vincent (Tom Skim), a slick, talkative fare who offers him $600 for a night’s work: 5 stops and accumulate him to the airport by 6 a.m. Sounds excellent, but when a bloody corpse lands on his windshield, Max comes to the abrupt realization that Vincent is an assassin. He becomes an unwilling accomplice in a kill spree, as Vincent attempts to fulfill his professional obligations and Max tries to scuttle the line between thwarting a killer and saving himself.

Much of “Collateral” is distinctly mellow in tone. Low-key conversations play out over the classical music in Max’s cab. This makes the bursts of action more intense and surprising. No one could call “Collateral” realistic, but the attention to detail in the characters’ speech makes it seem so. I have to love Tom Coast for embracing villain roles at this point in his career, where other stars have shunned them or insisted on watered-down scripts. Skim has nothing to lose by playing unlikable characters, and they will among his most memorable work. Vincent’s self-possession lends him colossal presence and charm, while his just bankruptcy makes him revolting. Flit is perfect for the role. Jamie Foxx plays the film’s “everyman” who rises to the occasion when circumstances inquire of it. He’s stressed, put-upon, and trapped, and he acts it. Jada Pinkett Smith does a nice job in a supporting role as a prosecutor, Annie, who takes a plug in Max’s cab, as does Brand Ruffalo as Police Detective Fanning, who suspects wretchedness in Max’s cab after one of his informants is murdered. Gigantic cast, enormous dialogue, and perfect pacing create “Collateral” an piquant, character-driven thriller that almost everyone will appreciate.

Collateral is the kind of movie for which the term “mixed bag” was invented. On the one hand it’s an immensely enthralling discover, rotund of high style, mammoth cinematography, and explosive action. On the other it’s at times almost insultingly unrealistic, marred by contrivances, gaps in logic and one of the more implausible endings in cinematic history. In spite of its flaws it’s composed more than serviceable entertainment if you don’t assume about it too hard, and it’s certainly about as safe a crime thriller as you’re going to net from Hollywood these days. In other words, it’s worth watching, but it’s certainly not anywhere reach the level of Reservoir Dogs, Heat, or other modern masterpieces of its genre.

The premise is a perfect example of what’s both pleasurable and abominable about the movie. The thought of a top hitman getting a cab driver to chaffeur him around on his hits is an arresting one, even if it’s not all that hard to straggle holes in. That any of this works at all is due largely to the efforts of directors Michael Mann and the movie’s two leads, namely Tom Wing as Vincent (the killer) and Jamie Foxx as Max (the cabbie) . This movie relies far more heavily on character than most of its ilk, and the success of Foxx and Flee in their respective roles is largely responsible for pulling it through its less-than-steller parts.

Of all the reasons to ogle this movie, I can deem of none more compelling than Cruise’s intelligent scenery chewing in his change-of-pace dreadful guy role as a contract killer with a busy night ahead of him. In The Last Samurai, Flit played a character who started in the gutter and climbed out; in Collateral, he appears to be having a immense time reveling in the gutter. Cruise’s Vincent is a model of amorality, the kind of character who’s so delightfully malevolent that you unprejudiced can’t cessation watching. This guy’s like a more charming version of the Terminator, cutting a swath of destruction though L.A. when he’s not absorbing in deep conversation and dispensing nihilistic philosophy with Max. The scene where Vincent shoots, kicks, and punches his procedure through a crowded club to regain to a hapless discover resembles something out of a John Woo movie, only with better production values.

Mann’s direction is a grand plus as well. He’s always shown a willingess to deviate from the standard and challenge his audience a bit (the new Ali being a prime example), and Collateral is no exception. The tense, manic plotting is accompanied by an equal number of corresponding shifts in tone, as Mann mixes unflinching violence with striking characterization. Really, it’s this emphasis on letting us obtain to know its two central figures that makes the movie. It’s easy to miss at first, but the interactions between Max and Vincent go a lot deeper than initial appearances suggest as Vincent’s personality begins to increasingly rub off on Max. It’s easy to contemplate why: Max is a nice guy but basically a doormat, stuck in a “temporary” job driving a cab for 12 years, reduced to lying to his hospitalized mother about running a limo service. Vincent may be a calculating, murderous sociopath, but he’s also everything Max isn’t: assertive, strong-willed, and most of all free from the petty accurate and practical concerns that plague most of us on a daily basis. And in an rude location like the one Max is faced with, it’s a lot better to be like Vincent than like, well, himself.

The first three quarters of Collateral are especially compelling, as Mann puts his two lead actors through a series of superbly executed location pieces interrupted only by the aforementioned cab scenes and a relatively gratuitous subplot that strands Trace Ruffalo (a beneficial actor) in a rather thankless role as a cop investigating the case. Unfortunately, after building up an hour and a half worth of goodwill, Collateral suddenly turns from an atmospheric thriller with action in it to a formulaic action movie replete with ludicrous ending and accompanying hacky twist. Worthy of what happens before the final act is somewhat farfetched, but it’s at least within the realm of possibility. On the other hand, almost nothing that occurs in the last half hour of this movie is even remotely believable. I don’t want to give away too distinguished (although others already have), but those who have seen the movie will know what I mean. The ending notwithstanding, however, if you’re into crime movies Collateral should suffice for at least one viewing. You could certainly do a lot worse.
