At least from the nominees that year, I think he was better than three of them including Foxx just because that was one of the worst cases of category fraud ever just so that he would get a double nomination that year.Rich Aunt Pennybagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005421089633289280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40832428043378505132009-12-19T08:34:21.626-05:002009-12-19T08:34:21.626-05:00It just looked flat to me.

Sounded flat too, what with all that existentialist hitman in a suit posturing. 2004 was a great year but I like to forget this film was part of it.Goranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233320824585119175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-61464949359842852772009-12-19T07:54:53.448-05:002009-12-19T07:54:53.448-05:00"Bonus points for Lori Petty"
I love it..."Bonus points for Lori Petty"<br /><br />I love it. Though I should say I am ashamed that I haven't seen Prey for Rock N Roll given my infatuation with Gina Gershon. Such a hottie.<br /><br />But I love Collateral, too. Thanks for playing the 04 game.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-68764237800679501882009-12-19T06:15:20.791-05:002009-12-19T06:15:20.791-05:00I would have to say the best moment in COLLATERAL ...I would have to say the best moment in COLLATERAL is Tom Cruise's "yo homey". It's probably the best moment of this decade in film. Seriously though, what a great movie.Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537102815681623472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-85498006534077180272009-12-19T00:36:15.864-05:002009-12-19T00:36:15.864-05:00A little slice of Heat that goes a long way...I wi...A little slice of Heat that goes a long way...I wish L.A. felt like Michael Mann's L.A.Pat F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17303178051363175399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-47471853467653772162009-12-18T23:31:54.069-05:002009-12-18T23:31:54.069-05:00Would completely agree with you were it not for th...Would completely agree with you were it not for that stupid climax that turned such an intelligent thriller into a boilerplate game of cat-and-mouse/save-the-damsel. I was literally watching in horror at that scene as it proceeded to ruin Michael Mann's best film since The Insider.<br /><br />Agree with you on mostly everything else, though. The cinematography was pretty amazing, and Jamie Foxx gave a great LEAD performance.Robert Hamerhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?ref=profile&id=100000467555057noreply@blogger.com
