Forgot how much I enjoyed this movie. Aside from some shitty plot direction and a weak 3rd act, I though it was really enjoyable. Mann's cinematography is always money. There are some really great scenes


That briefcase scene

Cruise was really great in it.

Yeah. Tom Cruise plays a good bad guy. I love the night club scene.

Incredible underrated film all around. One of my absolute favorites.

On a deeper level, lots of existential elements to it. I see some of yall are critical of the cat and mouse third act, but Vincent and Max's last scene together on the subway is very powerful, IMO

Great freaking movie. Cruise plays an awesome heartless bad guy.

The part where he has Jamie Foxx handcuffed to the steering wheel and he's confronting the dudes that took his briefcase.... DAMN.


And like another poster said, the nightclub scene is great.

I need to get it.

"He fell on the cab, he fell on the muthafrickin cab!"

I'd forgotten that Jamie Foxx was actually nominated for an Academy Award for this movie, the same year he won for Ray.

Such an awesome movie.

Love the night club, briefcase and Javier Bardem scenes but my favorite is Vincent meeting Max's mom.

Vincent: I was with Max when he got the call.
Ida: And you came all the way over here to see me?
Vincent: It's nothing, ma'am.
Ida: Tell my son. You'd have to hold a gun to his head to make him do anything.

The look Vince shoots Max at that point is priceless.
