\"\"\/Olga and I went to the movies to see “Collateral<\/a>“. We both don’t like Tom Cruise<\/a>, but I’ve got kind of interested in Michael Mann<\/a>‘s work.<\/p>\n

The movie turned out to be pretty good. It is somewhat slowly paced, but good. The story is interesting, actors deliver, and there was some nice camera work. Face close-ups added to the feeling of a huge city, which was one of the intended characteristics of the film. I also liked the way police work was shown, as well as professional assassin perspective on it all. Jamie Foxx<\/a> performance was excellent.<\/p>\n

The movie does not require a huge screen or sound surround system, so you can easily watch it at home on DVD. I would rate is a 7 out of 10.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
