Any love for this film.
Jamie foxx is class in it, Cruise looks slick as hell, great soundtrack and all shot at night.

Love that club scene bit as well.

Always watch it when on, even bought the dvd.

The camera used to shoot it, must be something different as in some parts it looks..different..like 3Dish, hard to explain

A fantastic film, brilliant dialogue right through, especially when Foxx is driving Jada Pinkett Smith in the taxi. A departure for Cruise from his usual perma-smile protagonist & he pulls it off brilliantly.

Love the crash scene with Audioslave playing over it. The night shooting right the way through adds a layer of foreboding to it.

Think this is one of Cruises best films after The Firm as he owns that assisan role in this.

Foxx is savage and they both play of each brilliantly.

Bit after the club scene when max is about to get rescueded by ruffolo and vincent does what he does and thinks hes saving max, the look they give eacb other.

The sound is by far what makes this film, guns sounds athentic as hell and that audioslave song is brilliant and fits it perfectly

I think the movie was mostly filmed with digital camera which was kind of still new back in 03/04. It was better equipped to film in low light and such.

Aye. It's decent. But, it does get a little silly toward the end.

I enjoyed it, haven't seen it in quite a few years. Must watch it again soon.

Spolier :

I thought the ending was poor, would love just once that Hollywood let the bad guy win

The ending wasnt right thats for sure, can ruin peoples rating of the film. After the cab has crashed it takes a serious plummet

I think that although he was a villain, the audience kinda end up rooting for the assassin.

Or maybe it was just me?

Great film, my fav Tom Cruise film

As per some of the above comments. I really enjoyed it, but the ending ruined it.
I caught it on tv one night, first time since the cinema, I won't watch it for a third time.

Indeed, I never really saw LA filmed at night like that before. It makes a change from all the sun. It's very desolate looking at night. Like many other places I suppose.
