"Yo Homie is that my briefcase?" | Collateral | CLIP 

10/10 ALGÉRIA

8

10, a great movie

I'll give it a solid 8.5

6 average at best.

michael mann always preferred to use blanks over the traditional sfx everyone else uses, makes it that much more immersive

Yeah it was same in heat it sounds way better

​@@lachokuso he fired a blank that close to the dudes face?

​@@halo2bounceguyGo look up how they filmed the scene

And no one notices?

I've read about how committed to hands-on training Cruise is, how many times he rehearses. He got _very_ fast, but have you noticed the tiniest fumble when he's pulling from the holster? Not that I'd ever hope to approach his speed...

@@indiathylane2158 I did notice. And it made it more impressive. Makes you realize hes actually pulling it off.

@@shockwave68 Oh, the guy's impressive, for sure.

The guy on the right is very…slow, not convinced by this scene, awesome film though, superb acting, both Cruise and Fox and let’s not forget the soundtrack.

My friends and I were watching this in a mostly empty theater. When this happened you could hear a reaction from everyone ranging from gasps to a surprised "OH MY GOD" from some old lady in back lol

"Tom Cruise rarely plays a bad guy..." Does 'Les Grossman' count? 😉

@@thedoneeyeanyone who dances as beautifully as Les Grossman, and is as patriotic as Les Grossman, can not be considered a villain….. more like an “anti hero.”

thats John Wicks dad

My thoughts exactly.

Tried to be like Denzel in training day in my opinion... It didn't really work....

I’m glad someone else caught that, I find it interesting that Vincent’s character has seemingly been using this exact method of taxi chauffeuring to each hit when in LA, I thought it made the assassin aspect of the movie feel more realistic

The jazz club sequence that follows this is also an important part in Max coming to this realisation himself. When Max asks Vincent if he would have spared the jazzman if he answered Vincent's question correctly, and Vincent doesn't answer, it clues Max in that Vincent will most likely kill him even if Max follows all his instructions perfectly.

Yep. He doesn't do anything without reason, like visiting Max's mom... not out of the goodness of his heart but to get potential leverage on him later. Same with wanting to know who Annie was. One cold, badass MF. Jada also did well. Great movie.

You're right to a degree. Vincent only cares about getting the job done, yes. Max is just a tool for him to go through the killings undetected. However, I'd argue that Vincent also despises Max's life choices or rather lack thereof. So, I think at least some of his remarks towards Max came from an honest place. Of course by doing so, he also ignited the fuel in Max that ultimately caused his downfall. Nevertheless, it's a great movie from begining to the end and Cruise's performance is damn near perfect.

Theses comments made me realize what a underrated gem of a movie this is.

I know. Gunslinger fast.

I know, right? I'm not a pistol guy but I remember watching this scene over and over and thinking, "Man! That is one hell of a smooth draw, and fire from the hip". He wasted no time - that gunfight was over FAST. Cruise obviously took some lessons and serious instruction from a pro on how to pull and fire like that. Impressive. DAMN impressive.

That man is like Keanu Reeves when it comes to putting in work for a role. No way I'm robbing someone who already zip tied the driver.

One of the most textbook and accurate portrayals of a concealed draw from the drop you will ever see in film.

It’s exactly what a person with training would do. If you own a firearm, get training.

the sound and echoe of his pistol is soooo reaal!! impressive!!

Mozambiqued.

@@DanielMcGillis-f3w Mozambique here

Simple. He wants to make *certain.*

Absolutely, let's get it done! The odds were against him and he knew it, but he pushed forward...finish the contract...You are 100% correct...

He was better in The Last Samurai.

"rooting" means having sex in Australia.

What other Cruise films have you seen?

i always argue people Vincent was not a bad guy, just a pure professional, and better yet, even if he was planning to kill max at first, he wasn't anymore by the middle of the movie. when Max got in his face and called him a monster, you can tell it struck a nerve cause then Vincent lash out at him aswell, but at this very moment, Max got Vince's respect. he prooved he had balls, he made him question himself, he wasn't just another normie, in fact, at this point both of them were the closest to a friend each other had. Vince protect Max from his boss, he protect him again during the club shootout (even giving him the "i got you covered bro" nod), give him his wallet back after the brief case affair, pretty much force him to call the girl he has fallen in love with, is extremely polite and nice thoward his mother, ... Vince started caring about Max, and in a sense, saw him as a way to recover some of his lost humanity. just like Max started getting a hold of a his life only cause Vince bad assery ended up rubbing off on him. Vincent isn't a real vilain, he's a tragic character, and if Max hasn't been so much of a normie, and accepted Vince for who he was, they would have been the best friends in the world. they're are each other Ying and Yang, and made each other a better/stronger person. imho one of if not THE Cruise's best character.

When he shots the sidekick...wow. Two in he chest and one in the head, as he's falling. sick...

The nightclub scene was the best tho, he shot the guy so many times to make sure he was dead, head to

Agreed. I pop this movie in every 4-5 years and always rewind this scene at least twice. Never gets old.

couple of kids. probably been terrorizing old people for years. but one day play time is over and it's time to pay up

@@Darkness-ie2yl They were full grown junkies, not kids.

Absolutely . Can tell they did their homework.. it really came off on camera .. and in my opinion this film was the first of its kind besides maybe HEAT ..

@@joecola6487They just forgot to add any sign of blood after the carjackers had been shot 🤦🏻

Apparently after all his practice for that scene he executed the draw and discharge in record time when the scene was actually filmed.

@@IrishScribbler you have never seen a real gunshot occur have you

I feel cool just reading your comment.

Tom: 61 …Keanu: 58

Lol😂😂

So every film character who can work their way out with a gun or two is always a "John Wick's father"? Lol.

@@joeofmacabre07 According to Gen Z.

*Older brother, Tom Cruise is only 3 years older.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion, right there.

Mozambique drill.

Psychopaths make up 1-3% of the population. Chances are, you've met hundreds of them, and never knew it. Based on a study carried out by Stone, 86.5% of the serial killers met the Hare criteria for psychopathy, but even MORE interestingly, another 9% presented only a few psychopathic traits (not enough to be classified as psychopaths).

See, that's because he is a psycho

He does not play a psycho here. He is a professional assassin.

That's the thing.... He isn't playing a psycho

@@blahblahblah33333 thanks I was gonna say the same thing

A different role but one where he played a bad guy - a total sleaze - is Magnolia.

Frank TJ Mackey. Who could forget that role@@Dingbotz

Villain again for sure but he should also do one where there's a twist and he turns out to be a bad guy. It would be insane, assuming they don't reveal the twist in trailers lol.

That theater were saying the same thing as how Foxx reacted

That detached excellence is also how he does mating.

He seems detached because he almost assuredly has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They often seem a little detached because they can't fully empathize with people so they "fake" it when they have to. As narcissists go though, Tom isn't a complete shit head, but I'm sure he's still a handful to deal with regularly.

No.... it was terrible.

@@dvhughesdesignwe arent talking about your home videos

Underrated...no. It got a lot of attention and excellent reviews when it came out.

It earned 200 mil when it came out

Underrated? This movie was immensely popular when it released and people still talk about it to this day. That's not the definition of 'underrated' at all.

Agree 100%. Mission Impossible, Eyes Wide Shut and Tropic Thunder are my favorites.

@@TheGlass50 Don't forget about Edge of Tomorrow

​@@TheGlass50 Risky Business. That and EWS are his best work IMO. He had some powerful scenes in A Few Good Men but that wasn't among his best films.

​@wet-read Jack takes over in A Few Good Men. Tom is good in it, though. Actually, I only watched the entire film in full last Christmas. Made me realise how few films from the late 80s to mid 90s I'd actually watched in full. Have seen JFK, The Untouchables, Primal Fear, etc., since then.

I also liked him in Interview with the Vampire as a young manipulating evil

thats John Wicks dad

The acoustics were amazing too. The way the sound rattles off the high-rise walls was totally on point.

​@@BuckingHorse-Bulllol

All of Michael Mann's movies are great. Thief, Manhunter, and Heat are all awesome.

@@TheJobtate, the same can be said for the sound in Miami Vice. When they go to rescue Trudy at that trailer park, and when Gina calls out to the druggie what's going to happen, then BANG! I jumped out of my seat in the theater.

Apart from the taxi character no one in this scene deserved any empathy.

@@B-26354 You gotta have a little empathy in your life, even towards people that don't deserve it, or you're this guy, a stone cold killer. One shouldn't find themselves taking life too easily.

@NekoMMDGTS Empathy for the two men robbing a helpless man at gun point and then threatening to beat and kill him if he resists? This is what we refer to as a lethal force scenario in that a bystander or the victim themselves could justifiably use lethal force in defence of themselves and others. Arguably even Tom Cruises character was 100% justified in the force used against the two robbers... No empathy is needed even from a legal standpoint.

@NekoMMDGTS Let's look at it another way, I assume from your pfp you're female or want to be female, if these two people caught you down an alley in a backstreet in LA at night with Intent to rob you at gun point (we're talking numerous felonies here) they're threatening to use extreme levels of force against you up to and including life ending forces. Do you think these men if you complied with them would stop at robbery or do you think your willingness to cooperate with them would cause them to escalate their offending against you? What do you HONESTLY think? Having empathy on the Internet is all very edgy and cool until you come up against real evil in the world and that hesitation from yourself may very well be the thing that makes you a victim.

​@@B-26354 couldn't agree more!

yikes

Holy crap you’re right

thats John Wicks dad

​@@BuckingHorse-Bullha the funny thing is that they both use the same brand of handguns. Atleast in the first John Wick he was using an HK VP9, Tom uses the HK USP 45 both really great guns.

@@BuckingHorse-Bullstop saying that its not true

Likewise in the film Magnolia

The soundtrack is next level, gave the movie the perfect atmosphere. 10/10 for both movie and ost. 👏

Underrated comment.

Yeah, even tho Tom's character is a murderer, you cheer when he offs the 2 street thugs.

Anti-villain is a very real trope. You can’t condone what he does, or his methods, but there’s a logic or a beauty to it that keeps you invested.

I'm a real life anti-villain

Like sure. Vader is the "villain". But we all cheered when he fired up his Light Saber and cut down a corridor of ill fated combatants in the Rogue One movie.

Maybe a Collateral/John Wick crossover movie that serves as a prequel to both franchises.

"Underrated" lmao

You can count on 1 hand his good movies. Underrated? Hell no.

Michael Mann understands the sound of gunfire better than any other director imo.

They trained like John wick before John wick before shooting

"I wonder how many takes it took for him to get this scene right?" Literally the question I came here to ask.

I saw a behind the scenes on this... I'm thinking it was actually one take. They shot a few more safety takes, but they used the first. Tom is a legend.

They sacrificed a lot of extras until it worked perfectly.

Ha Ha Ha, Dude thats pretty funny! @@ChristopheStrobbe

They could make a prequel.

Thanks - I thought that coup de grace being no-look was Hollywood BS - looks cool but not practical / serious. Like how people don't look at a big fiery explosion going off right behind them that they set off.

thats John Wicks dad

Those raw gunshot echos in this scene and heat

@@2wheeloperator185 yes!!!

Wish the ending of "Manhunter" followed the book. Mann altered it, to the film's detriment, I felt. Apart from that, a series of near flawless movies.

Do you mean the Miami Vice Michael Mann?

The only possible criticism I'd give to his draw style here was to use his left arm to push the perp's gun to Cruise's left, not to his right where it not only runs the risk of being in the line of fire of his right, shooting, hand (note, here Cruise moved his left arm out of the way, but it could have just as easily been in the way) but in moving his left arm out of the way as he had to do to clear his shot, could have given the perp a chance to reacquire Cruise as a target.

Yeah becasuse hes so fresh faced they had to give him the salt and pepper look to make him look older.

Ok that got me...😂💀

Democrats don’t like people defending themselves. Criminals are innocent scholars didnt you know

Amen

Spinning the assailant’s gun around IS Hollywood style. What, do you think that people hold the guns with a weak limp wrist grip?

​@@faisalmemon285well..many ppl have pulled guns out but afraid to actually use it... I'm guessing that was most likely the case with these muggers

@@faisalmemon285that guy wasn’t gonna shoot him in the first place 😂 he’s never shot anyone in his life and you can tell by the way he held the gun. I bet you it didn’t even have bullets in it

@@Las645 Go to a gun range and ask how possible it it’s to just flip a guys gun?

He did a movie called Manhunter in1986 based on the book The Red Dragon. About our old friend Hannibal Lechter. check it out. that would be his trifecta.

@@ronmoore4372 Oh yah. I forgot about that one.

He also did a Miami vice movie.
