Collateral

    Saw this the other night and one thing that has always bugged me is at the end when Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith run into the train station - they go down a flight of stairs to another platform below and then onto a train. Then Tom Cruise runs up, doesn't go down the same stairs, but jumps across a track towards another train... and yet ends up on the same train as the other two?

    Or am I just imagining things...

    Cant say I remember that but things like that pop up in films all the time I wouldn't pay too much notice to it.

    What did bug me was how bad ass Tom Cruise got gunned down by the meek cabbie after he single handled took down a whole nightclub.

    Didn't they start to go down the stairs then change their minds, then Vincent comes up and pauses at the same set of stairs and makes the same decision they did and gets on the right train.

    Nope, they go down the stairs, there's a shot of them after they've gone down showing the stairs behind them

    Never bothered me. I'd have to watch it again. Bloody great film though. Tom Cruise's finest work for me (very close to risky business).

    Can't say that I've spotted that and its been a while since I've watched it so I don't really remember the details of where they went. Will have to give it another look. Great film though.

    True but I also enjoyed the fact that Jamie Foxx's character didn't turn into Superman once he got hold of a gun. He looked awkward and scared throughout! It makes it a little more believable.

    Loved this film though. Esp the scene with Felix!

    Thats my problem with the movie too. I remember sitting in the cinema watching it and hoping that when the train doors opened Cruise would step out. Then I hoped the dvd would have it as an alternate ending but to no avail. Damn Hollywood.

    Love this movie.

    The Fever club scene is just something unreal.

    Have you seen Magnolia? That's his best work if you ask me.
