(rated R) Max (Jamie Foxx) is a happy-go-lucky, almost spiritual type of a taxi driver, who even listens to classical music. Tom Cruise (who is best when he’s bad) is a contract killer who jumps into the back seat of the taxi, yet ends up taking Foxx on the joy ride of his life. And so the night begins. The chemistry and interaction of the two characters really works. So does the taxi. And while Cruise may be a bad-ass, the script is so meticulously executed that at the least expected moments, Cruise shows a humane and sensitive side, but then like every good psycho, Mr. Hyde will kick in on his Dr. Jekyl. This flawless movie is worth every dime of a ticking meter. And Jada Pinkett Smith as a Prosecuting attorney embraces the screen with her cover girl looks and girly girl persona. And this pretty face can also act. Director Michael Mann knows his quality movies and his Oscar driven stars. Think Will Smith “Ali”, Al Pacino “Heat” and Russell Crowe “The Insider.” You’ll soon be adding Cruise for “Collateral” to that list.
