Cab driver Max picks up a man who offers him $600 to drive him around. But the promise of easy money sours when Max realizes his fare is an assassin.
"It started like any other night."
Pretty good for a Tom Cruise led movie, but he's still bloody playing Tom Cruise. Just Tom Cruise with even stupider hair.
Tom Cruise.
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._...
Well made thriller with Cruise turning one of his better performances (argument could be made deserved an Oscar nod), same with Jamie Foxx. A bit preposterous at times and some convenient moments (like when the cops let them go), but still entertaining and engaging until the very end. **4.25/5**...
"Max" (Jamie Foxx) is one of those cabbies you'd probably never want. Although he knows his way around LA like the back of his hand, he has opinions on just about everything and that would just drive me mad. It does not, however, bother "Annie" (Jada Pinkett Smith), a prosecutor working for Uncle Sam who makes and loses a bet with him about the best route to take to her destination. He's a curious fellow, "Max", with an almost naive expectation of what his life might deliver for him. He has been behind the wheel for over a decade, latterly earning money to pay his ailing mother's medical bills...
