EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Aug 06, 2004; Length: 116 Minutes; Genres: Action/Adventure, Mystery and Thriller; With: Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx; Distributor: Dreamworks Distribution L.L.C.; More

Michael Mann?s tensely funny and alive L.A. night-world thriller is, in its way, a very high-stakes buddy movie. Vincent(Tom Cruise), a hitman, hires Max (Jamie Foxx), a mellow cabbie who becomes his hostage, driver, and wary pupil in Nietzschean self-glory. The film generates suspense by dividing our sympathies in clever and unexpected ways.
