The 12 Best Movies I Saw in 2004
#11 Collateral ***1/2

What is better than Tom Cruise as a bad guy? JAmie Foxx giving the first of his two great performances in 2004 (the other being in "Ray"). This is probably the best onscreen duo of the year, with Cruise as the bad guy-assassin, and Foxx as the timid cab driver who is forced to drive the assassin all over town to complete his mission. Cruise is excellent as the bad guy, Foxx is excellent as the good guy, and the movie as a whole provides both excellent character development and action.
