Great movie, a different side of Tom Cruise and a Jason Statham cameo as the Transporter at the beginning. Jamie Foxx was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in this movie, even though he's clearly the lead rather than Tom Cruise, and even though Foxx won Best Actor that year for Ray, I personally thought he was even better in Collateral. Just a huge year for Jamie Foxx, and this is one of Michael Mann's better films. Anyone who's a fan of this movie should check out Heat (of course), Thief, Manhunter and Miami Vice.

Jason Henderson

Very cool movie when it came out in 2004. For all Tom cruise fans , I can say that this is a favourite for a multitude of reasons! You end up rooting for his character in the end. Enjoy every one! 👍🍿!!!

I really don’t think that I’m going to like the new season of The Last Of Us, and the movies this week are not really my vibe right now. So, what is a Cassie fan to do? Well, what I do is watch “Chickanic” videos instead, after work. I have learned So Much about 2 cycle motors. In fact, I know that in one year I have personally saved myself thousands of dollars in repairs. I do have a few more cuts and burns on my hands and arms; but I am having fun. Anyways, just sharing how I cope.

Now that Cruise seems to be done with "Mission Impossible" he really should play more villains. He has a talent for it and may actually get that Oscar he has dreamed about.

I was very excited to see Cassie watch this one, because Tom was so different here. Great movie!

Collateral is awesome. If you want a Michael Mann movie without bad guy Tom Cruise, I suggest: "Miami Vice" (2006) (action/romance/crime). Buddy cop movie w/Collin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. Beautifully shot. Slick movie. "The Insider" (1999) [RT=96%]

Bill W

You were rooting for Cruise's character?

Jason Henderson

Didn’t want the movie to end, just like training day in a way I guess. Loved his work in this film! Tom cruise has that Charisma. I loved the whole thing!

Bill W

Well Cassie has seen bad guy Patrick Stewart, bad guy Harrison Ford, bad guy Tom Cruise. Who's next......Denzel? Costner?

Stranger2Reality

I absolutely love Michael Mann's crime films (as I listed below), but The Insider is probably my favorite movie of his. Al Pacino and especially Russell Crowe are absolutely fantastic in that movie, and the courage both of those guys they portrayed really showed is just so admirable, that movie really gets to me. I'd love for Cassie to watch it some day. Miami Vice is still really good, but it suffered a bit because Colin Farrell played it so over the top (he's said he was so hammered during the making of it that he doesn't remember much of it), and also because they had to rewrite the ending on the fly because Jamie Foxx refused to go back to the Dominican Republic to finish the movie there after there were guns were fired on the set, so the ending was rewritten to finish in America. It's still very much worth watching though, even if I'd personally rank it definitely a tier below Collateral, Heat, Manhunter and Thief, for Mann's crime films. It's far better than Public Enemies though.

Collateral and Last of the Mohicans are my two favorite Mann movies. I would have mentioned Heat but she already reacted to it. I much like Miami Vice (which does get mixed reviews). I thought Colin Farrell did excellent. The ending being in America didn't bother me. I love the soundtrack. The camera work is awesome. I like how stylish -- from the city at night to the convincing romance to the airplane rides, the speed boats to the dance settings to the beach house, etc. I like the action sequences. I like the delivery of some of the dialogue by Farrell and Foxx. And I like the very ending.

Trevor Rotan

Training Day 2001(Denzel Washington, Ray 2004(Jamie Foxx) must be in the vote soon.

Erik Locquiao

“The Kingdom” (2007) - a great Jamie Foxx movie

Rick Moreno

I was glad you enjoyed this one, Cassie! By now you've probably realized that Michael Mann also directed "Heat." Don't feel bad about the tendency to cheer for Tom Cruise in this one! It's his only really villainous role so far, and man does he knock it out of the park! One of the odd things about this movie is that it was one of the first to be shot completely digitally (no film cameras). Because of that, it made some of the shots of the city really look great, but one of the defining shots of the movie is the part with the coyote. The animal just happened to cross the street while they were there, and the crew filmed it completely with just ambient light. Mann then had Cruise and Foxx simply act as if they were seeing it for the first time for the reaction shot. It worked out well in building up Vincent more as a layered character. Next time I watch this movie, I'll have to cue up your uncut reaction for it like I do for so many other rewatches! :)

Thoko

bad guy Elijah Wood? (Sin City)

Thoko

Nah. The Oscars aren't usually interested in the types of films that sell tickets. They usually give Oscars to films that serve an activist agenda

Thoko

I loved the movie but I didn't want Cruise's character to win. I wanted the poor driver to win

Bill W

Reactors seem to shy away from music-themed movies. Idk if it's because of the headache of trying to avoid copyright strikes from both the movie studio AND the record label? The only ones I ever see are School of Rock, Blues Bros. and Spinal Tap.

Bill W

Right. or Robin Williams (One Hour Photo). I forgot she also saw Gandalf as Magneto.

Mark White

Great reaction Cassie, I’ve been looking forward to this one. Good movie, good script and nice to see Tom in a different kinda role. Micheal Mann has done some really good movies, as well as Collateral “Heat” “Last of the Mohicans” but my Favourite has to be “The Insider” Al Pacino and Russel Crowe, true story, 96% RT, Just a great Drama. I highly recommend it for you Cassie. It’s right up your street with the type of movies you have been watching lately. Intense Drama which draws you in to the story and characters. Your question of talking to taxi drivers: Well it’s been a while for me, but when I was a young man, getting taxis back home after falling out of the club! At 2am with my mates, most weekends. You sit in the front with the driver and usually after no one has said anything to each other for the first 10 minutes you simply can’t cope with the silence any longer! You ask the only two question your hammered mind can come up with, because it’s the same questions you always ask!😂 1. What time are you on till? 2. Have you been busy? It’s like tourtettes! You can’t help yourself. And you know the driver has been asked the same thing a thousand times before! I have a funny story about a taxi driver: So about 25 years ago a girl I knew got into a cab late at night after she left the club. The driver was very quiet apparently, almost as if he was lost in a world of his own! Anyways, she lived way out of the city, in the sticks, as it came up to her road with her house, the taxi driver just drove straight past! She leaned forward and said “oh sorry but I think you missed my turning” to which the driver just said with empty chilling words “I know”😱!! And just carried on! Now can you imagine what was going though her mind at that precise moment! Absolute fear😱! After a few seconds she mustered up the courage and in a louder voice, in case he misunderstood her the first time, to say, “umm excuse me you really have missed my turning”! To which the guy seamed to wake from what ever trance he was in and apologised, turned around and stopped at her home. But for those few seconds!!

Darren Harrison

My favorite Jamie Fox movie is “Bait” I always chat to the Uber or taxi driver.

Bill W

Well, if he succeeded in killing Annie...that was his last stop anyway, so he'd probably just disappear. 🤣🤣

TheSingulatarian

That's not funny Ha Ha that is funny terrifying.

TheSingulatarian

The problem with "The Last of Us" is that it really isn't that different from "The Walking Dead". That show and its squeals played out every conceivable post-apocalyptic survivor's trope. Some people of course can't get enough of this, but many others are a bit sick of it.

Jason Henderson

Was a lot younger when it came out, kinda look at it differently now, but True enough!😊

Richard Maurer

That wasn’t a wolf, it was in fact a coyote. Coyotes can be found in towns, and even big cities, across the country. They are very smart animals, they even learn to stop at crosswalks till the traffic clears, which I have personally witnessed. While waiting in a Wendy’s drive through I watched a coyote stop at the crosswalk, look both ways, wait for a van to pass by, look both ways again, then cross the street. One of coolest animal encounters I’ve ever had.

Mike Lemon

I've seen a deer do that (not in town, but still looked , waited, looked, then cross). I don't know if I have ever seen a coyote cross a road.

Richard Maurer

That was an unusual deer then. All the ones I’ve seen (or heard of) run out in front of cars like idiots.

Mike Lemon

Oh, I know. I've hit at least six of them. Once it was about two weeks after getting my car back from the shop after hitting another one.

Richard Maurer

I’ve been lucky, I’ve bumped one once - no damage to car or deer. Had a bunch run out in front of me, but I always managed to stop.

Clarence Newman

Tommy should make Cocktail 2, because then Cassie would finally watch Cocktail 1 as a prelude to watching Cocktail 2. Come on, Thomas!

Chris Thom

Was surreal seeing them take over cities during covid. Never realized there were that many.

Chris Thom

Omg that story reminds me of Zodiac. That's pretty terrifying. But yeah, The Insider is probably my favorite too. Had no clue Mann directed Last of the Mohicans. Still haven't seen it.

Chris Thom

Oh that's right. Was thinking she hadn't seen a Michael Mann movie on the channel yet.

Richard Maurer

Chris - They were in the cities already before Covid, but they came out mostly at night to avoid humans.

Chris Thom

Love the argument the two leads have in the cab, which basically boils down to "why you such a sociopath" vs. "why you such a deadbeat scaredy cat." Speeding up the car like that was kind of brilliant.
