Collateral

I just utilized my press pass to see the movie Collateral for free. I probably wouldn't have seen it if not for the rather attractive price. I wasn't expecting it to be all that great mostly because it starred the overdone and ever annoying Tom Cruise. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the film. The characters were very interesting and the story had a lot of interesting things to say about people and choices in life. In fact, the movie kinda seemed like an intellectual character movie (with murdering and gangsters thrown in for fun) until the last 30 minutes where it turned into high adrenaline action. That was a bit of an odd shift, but enjoyable nevertheless. It wasn't an earth shattering movie by any means, but it was two hours well spent.
