Max Durocher (Jamie Foxx) is a cabbie living in L.A. with big dreams of opening his own limo company and catering to rich, important clients at some point. But without the motivation to take the risk and leave his job, he's just drifting through life. He can't even find the courage to call the attractive attorney, a fare, who flirted with him and gave him her card. He's stagnant. Until he picks up one fare that will change his life.Enter Vincent (Tom Cruise), who commandeers Max's taxi. He is the chaotic counterpart to Max's carefully structured world. A jazz aficionado, he preaches Darwinism and improvisation. He's jaded by the city, hates the overpopulation and the filth. Oh yeah, and he also happens to be a hitman with a list of five people he's been hired to kill that night. And during that night, the cabbie and the assassin find themselves inescapably bound together.A 2004 thriller from director Michael Mann, Collateral features Tom Cruise in his most chillingly evil villain role since Lestat de Lioncourt. | |

Fall Guy | |
| Collateral / int_10cdfe4b | comment |
Fall Guy: Although never directly stated, it's implied Vincent is planning on murdering Max to take the blame for his crimes; Fanning recalls a case from years ago when a mild-mannered cabbie apparently snapped out of the blue and killed three random people in one night before turning the gun on himself. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You: After the hospital scene, Max takes the assassin Vincent's briefcase with the target names and throws it off of a bridge in hopes of stopping him for killing anyone else. Instead of killing him, Vincent thinks of another way to use him to get a backup copy of the target names. | |

Ironic Echo: Vincent's reliance on the efficient Mozambique Drill killing tactic allows Max to best him in a blind gunfight through a subway door with two windows and a solid metal center. Vincent asks Max how long he's been doing the job, and if he gets any benefits. Max asks him the exact same thing, in reverse order, when he's about to impersonate Vincent. | |

Wrongful Accusation Insurance: Max is forced to impersonate Vincent and ends up committing a few crimes over the course of the end of the movie trying to save the last victim, not to mention being the murder suspect of Vincent's first hit. Good thing the last victim on the list was Annie, a prosecutor whom he met earlier that night, because when this is over he's going to need all the legal help he can get. | |

Face Death with Dignity: Vincent at the end of the film. After he and Max unload their entire magazines at each other in a blind shoot-out, Vincent attempts to reload, and drops the magazine instead. The camera pulls back to reveal why: He's been fatally shot in the gut and he's starting to bleed out. With the last of his strength, he calmly puts away his gun, adjusts his suit, and sits down on a train seat. He waits for Max to come sit across from him before delivering his Last Words, then relaxes silently into death. | |

The pair are later pulled over by two officers suspicious of the damage, and Vincent threatens to kill the policemen if Max is unable to talk his way out of the situation. He claims that the damage came from hitting a deer and though the policemen appear skeptical, they receive another call and let him off with a warning. | |

Bested by the Inexperienced: Max, a cab driver who has probably never held a gun before that night, manages to get the best of Vincent, an infamous and deadly assassin. Vincent follows his training and shoots perfectly for center mass... only for the bullets to harmlessly embed themselves in the metal section of the train door between the two men. Meanwhile Max shoots wildly, and a lucky shot goes through the window and fatally wounds Vincent. | |

Clock King: Applies to both Vincent and Max. Max knows the city so well he can tell you exactly how long it takes to get from one point to another, and plans his routes to save time and his passengers money. Vincent checks his watch so often it almost seems compulsive. It's clear he plans his hits carefully, keeps to a precise timetable, and is visibly pleased when he's ahead of schedule. Vincent represents chaos and Max exemplifies order, but it's oddly something they both have in common. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Collateral / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Max levels up and delivers a blistering one to Vincent right before crashing the car. Max tells him that he couldn't connect with anyone if his life depended on it and that he's like someone who grew up institutionalized without experiencing any normal human interactions at all. Vincent's reaction shows that there's a least some truth to it. Vincent then turns around and smacks Max with an equally brutal one, tearing into him for not having the courage to take any risks and make something of himself, or even call a girl he likes, even comparing Max's voluntary stagnation to "murder". | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| Collateral / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: The coyote scene, possibly hinting at the fundamental differences between Vincent and Max. Max stops the car for a simple stray animal, one that couldn't even really be someone's pet, but nonetheless goes out of his way to avoid killing it, even though hitting it would have no legal or physical consequences. Vincent seems more confused then anything else that Max has stopped, and there's a moment of silence between them afterwards, as Vincent seems to finally pick up on what Max just said to him: he really is incapable of comprehending an individual's reasons for doing something. His almost awed gaze at Max's head shows that he simply cannot fathom the reason behind Max's actions. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Vincent progresses through one of these over the course of the film. It has it's beginning from the moment he meets Max and they start conversing.

However, he's also incredibly isolated and walled-off from the rest of humanity, with the resultant loneliness that he'd never admit to, not even to himself. Despite how ruthless he is, it's heartbreaking to realize that Max may be the first person he's had a meaningful, introspective, and honest conversation with in his entire life. In several scenes, you can't help but feel that he's honestly trying to help Max change his life, and is very conflicted over the part of his plan that means killing Max. And after the final shootout with Max, rather than go down swinging, Vincent just gives up rather than die alone. | |

Death by Irony | |
| Collateral / int_9bca83eb | comment |
Death by Irony: Vincent, for all his talk of adapting, I Ching, Darwin — acting as Chaos personified — exclusively uses the Mozambique Drill technique to eliminate his targets. In the climax, he gets into a blind shoot-out with Max. Vincent's shooting only hits the middle of the carriage doors, but Max's inexperienced, random shots manage to go through the window and hit Vincent. And for bonus points, Max uses Vincent's own gun. He almost literally lived and died by his sword. Vincent spends the entire film heckling Max for his stagnation and lack of proactivity. When Max finally decides to take a stand, he sets off a chain of events that ends with him killing Vincent. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Collateral / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Max, impersonating Vincent, threatens to take the gun away from Felix's henchman behind him and beat him with it. He does something very similar with a cop later. The reason Vincent was at Annie's building at the film's outset is that he was researching his final target (Annie, the prosecuting attorney). Early on, Vincent complains about how much he hates LA, and how impersonal and disconnected everyone is. He says he heard a story about a man who died on the MTA, and whose corpse went unnoticed for six hours before anyone realized he was dead. At the end of the film, he dies, alone on a train car, sitting upright and well-dressed, in the wee hours of the morning... where no one is likely to find him for hours. Max says he sometimes gets lucky with the (traffic) lights. In the finale, the lights on the train go out just before he engages Vincent, which lets Max win by sheer luck. | |

Film Noir: Down to Max being a decent guy pulled into crime (and for a while being quite good as Vincent's sidekick), who then struggles to get out once he gets the big picture. Also, the idea of L.A. At Night being an effective character, itself. And a healthy dose of existentialism to boot. | |

Hope Spot: About two-thirds of the way through the film, Detective Fanning pulls Max away from a nightclub fire-fight to safety. He believes his story, looks like he's going to help solve all of Max's woes... then is gunned down by Vincent without a pause. Earlier on, Max attempted to steal Vincent's briefcase and destroy it along with the contents inside like the names of his targets by throwing it to a highway where numerous vehicles run it over. He hopes that by doing this, Vincent would leave him alone and stop killing people. Unfortunately for him, it made Vincent mad enough to pin him down on a floor and considers using him to get a backup copy of his targets' names. | |

Mêlée à Trois: In the nightclub during the fourth hit: Max and Vincent (with Max standing in for Vincent while Vincent follows him) vs some mafiosos (who were sent after 'Vincent' just in case the hit goes wrong) vs the LAPD (who try to both protect the victim and locate Vincent and his supposed partner-in-crime) vs the victim's bodyguards (who start firing at everyone with a gun). It helps that the room is completely cramped with panicking party-goers and the lights go on and off. | |

Quick Draw: Vincent can draw a pistol from a holster high up on his hip, almost in the small of his back (which is not really conducive to a fast draw) and get off five very accurate shots in less than two seconds, killing two men. One of whom was already pointing a gun at his face. It helped that they had no idea how dangerous he was and closed within arm's reach of him, allowing Vincent to knock the gun away with one hand while simultaneously drawing his gun with the other. By the time the two jerks realized they'd messed with the wrong man, they were already dead. | |
