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

I think it fell apart too, but I still enjoyed the Jamie Foxx bar scene and nightclub scene.

Regarding the nightclub scene--it may have been deliberately edited as it was to emphasize 1) the chaos of the moment; and 2) to add plausibility to the whole scene. But I agree--it wasn't plausible at all--that is why they call it fiction.

Where I thought the movie completely lost it was toward the end: it became totally predictable. We knew Tom was after DA, we knew that Jamie would save her, we knew the chase scene was coming up, blah blah blah.

It's so damn hard to kill somebody in the movies these days--"mortal wound" is an oxymoron. No matter where or how many times they are shot, we are led to think they are dead, but they will come "back to life" and will be around for 10-20 more minutes of movie.
