Director: Michael Mann
Cast: Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Mark Ruffalo
An LA cab driver picks up a customer who plans to drive around the city and kill five people during the night. Michael Mann's terrific film starts as a moody and stylish character drama, and then builds towards a tense action thriller finale. Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise are both successfully cast against type. The digitally shot nighttime Los Angeles look glorious.
