      1 of my favourite parts (believe it or not),is the coyote scene. Mann has always had good cinematography. It's beautifully shot,& "Shadow on the Sun" was perfect. The scene is so odd & surreal, yet complex in it's simplicity. It says A lot,by not saying anything. "Miami Vice"(the movie),is another I find(of Mann's) visually appealing .His shots ,colour pallet, his choice of backgrounds,framing,is all cinematic gold.

    Yeah. That was the scene that, story wise, hinted the character as an unstoppable force.
    And then, in the nightclub shootout the character was fully unleashed as he had no hesitation in a very complicated situation. Like it was a Tuesday.
    Even better was how the movie showed Vincent as a person with empathy, humor and, to a certain degree, remorse at killing someone he probably didn't want to, but he's a professional.
    This movie was meticulously planned. It's really great stuff.

      Agreed. Before, one of the witnesses in the case fell out of the car, he pulled a gun on Jamie Foxx's character, and we're like "ok... the Vincent guy is deadly serious". But to see him do that in the alley, it adds that one extra level of "not only is this guy big talk, but he walks the walk". Reinforces... do not F with him.

    • @ajmoskowitz1753
      @ajmoskowitz1753 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I agree with most of this. However I really don’t know how you can see Vincent as empathetic. In fact he’s completely devoid of empathy. After he kills the first hit he’s almost perplexed at Max’s sympathy for a guy he never met before. Vincent shows some pity towards max in a few moments. But guaranteed if the movie were to go Vincent’s way, we would have undoubtedly killed max in the end.

But if you pay attention to his interactions with Max and what he says, Vincent makes it very clear that he lacks empathy. He's the classic Hollywood sociopath: good looking charismatic, devoid of empathy, nihilistic, and uses bullshit logic/perceived intelligence to justify his actions.

      Tweaker 2 does that without the knowledge of who Vincent is. It's no different than a thug poser who plays the part in front of someone who is a professional killer in real life. The same applies to criminals with guns vs police with guns in a real life shootout situation. Police train to execute the conclusion to the confrontation while the criminal is looking for a way out. The criminal is distracted by two objectives while the officer is focused on one goal.

    Much respect to Tom Cruise for putting the time in on getting "Vincent" right; say whatever you will, the guy has an **insane** work ethic, and isn't afraid to take risks.
    He worked his ass off, a few hours a day at least for a few weeks with an ex-SAS guy that Micheal Mann used before for "Heat." He burned through thousands of rounds learning instinctive shooting, react drills, CQB tactics...all with *live ammo.* Micheal Mann is known to go to crazy lengths to get everything as accurate and authentic as possible.
    There was once a Navy SEAL firearms CQB instructor who used to show SEAL students at Coronado the bank robbery scene from "Heat," and in particular, Val Kilmer's performance. When Val Kilmer did a reload, the instructor said "**THAT** is what it should look like, **that** is what I wanna see when you reload." Most of that was due to the training Micheal Mann put them through in pre-production...and it definitely shows.
    He and Keanu are pretty damned legit.

      Viper Dagger Michael Mann is on a whole other level when it comes to realistic gunfire and action scenes when compared to most directors. The example I always cite is the truck "crash" at the drive in meeting in Heat. It just rolls to a small bump against the rail after the driver is killed. It doesn't fly off a cliff and explode into a giant fireball in mid air. Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice (movie) all had spectacular gunfire audio.

    Collateral is such an underrated movie. The alleyway scene was perfectly done. My personal favorite scene is the coyote scene when Shadow On The Sun by Audioslave starts playing. That scene doesn’t really add anything to the movie, but it really set the tone for the whole movie. Michael Mann did a great job of making a unique movie with very memorable scenes and characters.

    There's a very underrated-scence in Steven Segal's "Under Seige" at the 1:01:29, (point of the movie), when he shoots and kills four automatic weapon carrying mercenaries, by delivering 3-head shots, a round-house kick to one's neck, while holding the forth bad guy in a single-hand rear choke-hold, only to deliver a "coup de gras" shot that enters his spine and exits his chest cavity in about 4-seconds time. It's quite impressive.

    So glad I clicked on this video! What you said about getting your head over the pistol is really interesting. It's not intuitive, since you're used to your hand not being directly in line with your head, but it makes perfect sense when it comes to getting your shots on target, even up close. Something I wouldn't have considered if I hadnt watched!

Maybe only one or two jobs before Collateral, what made Vincent who he was? It just makes sense as a film: imagine the simple title, "Vincent“ who wouldn't want to watch that?! Fan boys from all over would pay for that. I could even imagine a 3 second hat-tip cameo where Vincent does a slowmo eye lock with John Wick as he assesses him for threat, maybein a bar or a suit store, right before Vincent casually proceeds to do what he does. I would pay for that film!
