Collateral [Blu-ray]

マイケル・マン監督のリアル指向が秀でている映画 トム・クルーズのガンハンドリングがかっこいいです 特にヒップドローシューティングからのダブルタップ+1は痺れます

ありがとう。

男臭い映画を撮らせたら右に出る者なしのマイケル・マンの作品です。 トム・クルーズには珍しく悪役なのですが、個人的にはミッション〜シリーズよりこちらがハマり役だと思っております。 映画パンフによりますと、ロスの夜の空気感を出すために敢えてハンディカムで撮影したとか、裏設定でトム扮する殺し屋のスーツは、無名だが九龍城でしか手にはいらない生地で作ったもの(うろ覚えでゴメン)だとか。 確かに、ねっとりと絡みつくような湿気を帯びた空気感が伝わってきます。 ややスイートな序盤が続くと思いきや、すぐに本題に入ってくれる展開がナイスです。 派手なアクションはないけれども、主人公の2人を丁寧に描いており、徐々に盛り上がってくるストーリーも秀逸です。 なんともいえない余韻を残すラストもイイね。 デートで映画観る程度の知人に貸したら普通との感想でしたので、ある程度の映画玄人にお勧めいたします。

最も好きな映画の一つです

顧客からの口止めの依頼により、プロの殺し屋が計画的に段取り良く一晩に5人を殺しに行く・・・が、足として雇ったタクシー運転手により、その計画が思うように進まなくなる展開に・・・クール、はらはら感が踏んだんに盛り込まれた作品だと思います。ただ、社会的に何かを訴える感はあまりない作品で、トム・クルーズのクール感のみが残るだけでした。

深夜のタクシードライバーの物語。 突然割り込んで来るクールでオシャレで自己中な乗客。トムクルーズが最高に哀れ！

カラー、スコープサイズ。 ロサンゼルスが舞台。 ジェイミー・フォックス扮するタクシー運転手の仕事振りが 描かれていく。ジェイダ・ピンケット・スミス扮する検事を 降ろした後でトム・クルーズを乗せる。時間に正確なフォッ クスを見込んだクルーズが、五ヶ所を巡るのにフォックスを 雇うが、一ヶ所目でクルーズの正体が殺し屋であることが判る。 残る四ヶ所巡りに、フォックスは巻き込まれていく。 ロサンゼルスの屋外ロケ撮影が満載。夜間シーンが主体。 空撮やら車載カメラやらロングショットやら、豊富なカメラ を駆使して、スコープサイズを活かした構図によるカットを 素早く繋ぎ合わせていく。 クルーズ演じる殺し屋はクールに決めているが、しばしば間 が抜けている感じがある。マシンのように「仕事」に突き進 んで行く様は正にハマり役。 そのクルーズに振り回されるフォックスは、段々とタフな男 に変貌していくところが見所。 臨場感はあるが、意外にノンビリと映画は進む。マイケル・ マンの手堅い手腕を満喫した作品。

Occasionally, a film comes along with all the qualities of a masterpiece: a superb and original script that just could not go wrong in the hands of a gifted director, who has never made anything below par; a great cast who lovingly live the characters in their exceptional performances; outstanding cinematography; a terrific and haunting music score and crisp editing; and a film, not too short, not too long; and finally, critics adore it and audiences love it. That then is a masterpiece, and `Collateral' without any doubt is one, that I recommend to everyone as a 'film to see before you die' as the famous Film4 ad goes. One characteristics of Michael Mann's work is his unique portrayal of LA night: the roads, the traffic, the buildings and the night sky in particular; as he did in `Heat' and has revisited in `Collateral`. It is depicted almost as a character in his films, and here in Collateral, there are unique sequences in which aerial shots meanderingly focus on the moving taxi in which the two main characters move from one target to the next, with helicopters hovering in the background. And for a few seconds, the moving cab looks almost sailing through the night. I have never seen this technique before. One of the most memorable sequences in the film is the one where a fox crosses the street in front of the deeply thoughtful two protagonists. It is unlikely that I will ever forget that sequence. `Collateral' is likely to remain in our collective memory as a great film and a true masterpiece by one of the greatest directors of our time.

COLLATERAL, for my money, is one of the best films of the decade. Most modern films have a "sameness" about them. Regardless of genre, they all seem "the same". There tends to be too much focus on "wow-ing the moviegoer" with growing technology (CGI, special effects), gimmickry (tricky plots, flashbacks, surprise endings), and not enough focus on character development and dialogue. Another thing that I think a lot of today's movies lack is "realistic character interaction". Somehow, COLLATERAL overcomes all the cliches found in many modern films and rises to the level of poetry. Directed by the great filmmaker Michael Mann (THIEF, MANHUNTER, HEAT, THE INSIDER, and a personal shout-out to his groundbreaking 80s TV series MIAMI VICE), COLLATERAL is an absorbing, atmospheric, provocative tale of two men who meet at the literal crossroads of their lives. A mystery man named Vincent (played with 100% utter conviction and ease by the legendary Tom Cruise) arrives at LAX and "accidentally" bumps into another man, in which a briefcase exchange ensues. Vincent travels to downtown LA and gets in a cab driven by Max (Jamie Foxx in a performance that would earn him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination). Vincent tasks Max to drive him around LA to complete his "errands". Max soon finds out (the hard way!) that Vincent is a contract killer. Vincent is going to kill 5 people that night and Max must drive him around or else! During this night, Vincent and Max learn valuable lessons about each other and themselves. In a series of stimulating conversations, some very truthful facts of life are laid out for the viewer to absorb and consider. One can see Vincent and Max literally transfer personality traits to each other as the night ensues, which leads to an inevitable conclusion. Every time I watch the film, I pick up on a detail or nuance about Vincent and Max I hadn't seen or noticed before and am amazed at how believable their interaction is and how meticulous a film that Michael Mann has constructed. This film ought to easily be considered one of the best of the decade. Within this fascinating film, Mann mixes in a great soundtrack, superbly staged and convincing action sequences, and beautiful cinematography of LA after dark. The excellent supporting cast includes Mark Ruffalo (as Det. Fanning hot on Vincent and Max's tail), Barry Shabaka Henley (as nightclub owner Daniel, who the men have an interesting encounter with), Irma P. Hall (as Max's mom, who almost steals the movie!), Javier Bardem (in a pitch perfect scene as the big bad guy Felix), and last but not least an incredibly vibrant and sexy Jada Pinkett Smith (as an early fare of Max's who ends up being a key to the story). I cannot stress or say enough of how impressed I was with Tom Cruise's amazing work in this film. It is as much a physical performance as it is a verbal one. And he handles both sides with aplomb. How he did not get nominated for an Oscar (Best Actor) is beyond belief! I would have settled for him getting a "nomination", but, I swear, everytime I watch this flawless film, I continue to believe that this is THE performance that Mr. Cruise should always be remembered for, leaving all his other great work in the dust! This may be the best performance of his career, and it is thankfully part of a truly great film. I own this 2-disc set dvd and it is perfect, the way every dvd of a big film should be with great quality on the film dvd and interesting, refreshing commentary on the 2nd one. A masterpiece as far as I'm concerned!

A must have for any Michael Mann enthusiasts. The special features are what I call “a film school in a box.” There are few films on disc that give you the type of immersive and revelatory insights and commentary that you actually learn significant skills and the how to nitty gritty of filmmaking. This is one of those discs. It will stay in your collection forever. Full commentary from Mann and extensive BTS, making of features and docus. Like many of us, I wish Cruise would take more risks with his acting work. He does here, playing a the villain and it is fantastic! Mann’s edgy filmmaking style and cinema verité chops are on full display here. This film is a tie in with his seminal “Heat” another Los Angeles crime drama featuring a man in a grey suit. The subway station also serves as the geographical tie in to that film. The same stop that begins “Heat” is the end point here for these characters. There’s a jazz inspired scene here that is a gripping dark tale. And the night club scene is fantastic. And of course Cruise being a bad ass for two hours. Unmissable. Interesting tidbit: this is the production that saw Cruise go viral for posing as a UPS delivery guy and going unnoticed. Highly recommend!

Great Michael Mann movie - Produce of 80 Great Miami Vice TV Show, movies such Heat and others. In this Collateral, an assassin - Tom Cruise use a only Night Run Taxi to do the Job, drive by Jamie Foxx. Tom Cruise in my opinion as a great performance in this movie. Delivered on time the movie and the price wasnt bad. I recomend. Many subtitles options evean my native Language - The Portuguese.
