Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Adam Smith
Tom Cruise puts away his trademark toothsome grin to play a cold-blooded hitman in this edgy thriller from director Michael Mann. After hijacking a taxi and its driver, Cruise embarks on a series of ruthlessly efficient assassinations across night-time LA while the hapless cabbie (Jamie Foxx) tries to work out ways to escape. Meanwhile, LA cops and the FBI are closing in. Cruise, sporting steel-grey hair, is well cast against type and is surprisingly effective as the killer, but it's Mann's astonishing style that really marks the film out. Shot on a mixture of film and digital video, the night-time lights of LA look alternately moody, surreal and dangerous. In fact, if the film has a problem, it's that the style occasionally becomes oppressive and threatens to overwhelm the serviceable but slender plot.
