Unexpectedly good. Both Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx give some solid performances. The plot is simple but it's very well done and engaging. The subway train scene is my favorite, I loved every second of it.

[7.4/10] There’s an unfulfilled need in movies and television for works that bridge the gap between heady prestige picture material and mindless action. Films like *Inception* and television shows like *Daredevil* play in that space, providing cool set pieces and rough and tumble thrills while also trying to Say Something™, but such offerings are few and far between.

Great movie. I like how Max, near the end of the movie, said two of the things Vincent said in the taxi at the beginning of the movie. Same with how Vincent's [spoiler] last words [/spoiler] was also something he said to Max in the taxi. It's the little details that count.

Very interesting plot packed with action also a great balance of tense scenes and…

<B>"A guy gets on the MTA here L.A. and dies. Think anybody'll notice?"</B> I still like seeing Tom Cruise play the villain. I totally forgot Jason Statham has a cameo in this and how about Sergeant Wade Gray (Richard T. Jones)? Never knew he was a traffic cop before! We even have Marcus Alvarez (Emilio Rivera) in this? I love this cast. Throw in Javier Bardem, Jada Pinkett Smith and Mark Ruffalo with earrings and a goatee and you've got…

Considering it was made 20 years ago it was probably outstanding for its time. Cruise and Foxx were great. Good chemistry and development of their relationship. To nitpick, the Club scene was dumb and the fact there were only 2 people in all of downtown LA at 6 in the morning was pretty dumb too, but it’s an action movie so who cares. Ending was a let down as well, but fitting.
