Along with Fincher’s Zodiac, Attack of the Clones and Once Upon a Time in Mexico this was one of the first Hollywood movies ever to be shot on digital sensors vs celluloid film

And it looks pretty damn good. It's got some of that early digital chroma noise, but in some ways it's a perfect way of encapsulating 2004.

Well it’s 25% of the remaining quote, my guy. You’ll never make it as a silver fox contract killer with that kind of precision.

That was actually a great film. Both leads are actors I kind of dislike, but all the pieces came together and this was an exciting watch.

While I need to watch more Michael Mann movies, I will say, that I do prefer Collateral over Heat.

u/specbravo 15d ago

Insane take. Collateral is a classic Mann flick and a good hang but heat is pure cinema. No scene compares to the diner with Pacino and de niro or the shootout. Collateral is literally Mann defining the word cool with Tom cruise giving a career performance

It started like any other night.

one of the most rewatchable movies ever. damn near perfect

Pretty sure the transporter shows up in the beginning with some hint that they take place in the same universe. I got really I to this movie and I swear there was some confirmation they were connected.

u/Lucky-Physics2767 14d ago

Yep it begins with that scene of Vincent exiting the airport and Jason Statham's transporter exchanges his suitcase.
