I went to see this movie a few days ago. All I can say is that this movie is brilliant. Tom Cruise played the hitman character with so much passion it was incredible. Also to note is that I never pictured Tom Cruise playing the role of a hitman :D I've never pictured him that way. All I could picture was the Mission Impossible agent type of stuff, but never as hitman!
At times, Tom Cruise brought in some pretty funny stuff into the dialouge between him and the taxi driver (jamie Foxx)
well heres a link of a review.
One of the best movies of the year :rockman:
Cruise and the filmmakers bring a great deal more to his character than we expect in a thriller. What he reveals about Vincent, deliberately and unintentionally, leads up to a final line that is worthy of one of those nihilistic French crime movies from the 1950s. Jamie Foxx's work is a revelation. I've thought of him in terms of comedy ("Booty Call," "Breakin' all the Rules"), but here he steps into a dramatic lead and is always convincing and involving. Now I'm looking forward to his playing Ray Charles; before, I wasn't so sure. And observe the way Jada Pinkett Smith sidesteps the conventions of the Meet Cute and brings everyday plausibility to every moment of Annie's first meeting with Max. This is a rare thriller that's as much character study as sound and fury.
