Collateral did me damage.

I think I’ve had enough of bashing Hollywood, it’s about time I praise it. Hell I’ve never actually took the time to make a movie so my guess is that I should stop mentioning the bad and try to only mention the good, this approach is actually constructive.
This past Saturday I rented and watched a movie that should set the new standards in Hollywood filmmaking. The movie as the title suggests was Collateral.
My guess is that Tom Cruise amongst an elite of actors is playing in and producing some of the best movies the studios produced in this past decade. Direction from Michael Mann was a key point in this movie, his use of DV cameras made a huge impact and gave the movie the extra realism that made it stand out amongst other action – suspense films. Jamie Foxx’s excellent acting needs praise too. The plot of the movie was somewhat simple to digest but photography, direction and acting was what made it top notch in my book. Although the movie has been out for some time now, if you haven’t rented it yet go and get it now.
Just to be fair I will post my Hollywood top 10 list in the coming days..
