Just watched Collateral again. Man does that movie fall apart.

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

It starts out so good, such good camera work and editing and sound and character introductions/story exposition.
Then when Jamie Fox has to go into the bar and pretend to be Vincent it starts getting into the nerdy underachiever common man becomes superman territory (which only gets worse when JF is rescuing JP). Also, the scene in the nightclub is just ridiculous. It's poorly edited as you can never tell where anyone really is in relation to each other and it takes TC an extremely exaggerated LONG time to get across a small dance floor.
I'm a big fan of Michael Mann's and loved the mood and tension created early in the film but it's ultimately very disappointing.
