Collateral

Collateral (2004) is a crime thriller from director Michael Mann you can watch online on iFILM. Tom Cruise plays Vincent, a contract killer who climbs into Max's cab — Jamie Foxx as the mild-mannered driver — and makes him a simple offer: five stops, one night, good money. Max says yes before he sees the body.

Each address on the list is a hit. Max is trapped behind the wheel, miles from any help, while Vincent sits in the back and talks like a man who finds murder perfectly reasonable. Jada Pinkett Smith plays a federal prosecutor named Annie — the one person Max met during his shift and the name that turns up last on Vincent's schedule. Mark Ruffalo is the detective slowly piecing the night together from crime scenes across the city.

Mann shot the film on digital video, and the empty LA streets look electric rather than staged. At 120 minutes it never loses grip — two hours of a man figuring out that waiting to be saved is not a plan. Stream Collateral (2004) online on iFILM.
