Collateral

If there's a Michael Mann movie that comes close to the absolute brilliance of "The Last of the Mohicans" or "Heat" or "The Insider," this is it. It has a cameo by Jason Statham as his "Transporter" character, Javier Bardem as a gaucho, and Mark Ruffalo's best work since "In the Cut." I still love the scene at the Korean Club Fever, and I wish I could use in everyday conversation what Tom Cruise says to Jamie Foxx: "We gotta make the best of it. Improvise. Adapt to the environment. Darwn. S[tuff] happens. I Ching. Whatever, man. We gotta roll with it."
