So, you’ve probably heard about “the Tom Cruise with Grey Hair” movie – which, if I was Tom Cruise would make me kinda mad. — But I’d probably go count my millions to make myself feel better.
The movie’s actually got a name, Collateral, and it actually doesn’t look too bad. Nice Little tune behind it too. I’ll hafta look it up. Michael Mann sits behind the camera here, who’s done a fair amount of respectable work and was also one of the executive producers of “BADASSSSS!“, which I still haven’t done a write up for.

the grey hair is actually to show the comparison between the wolf and cruise. As the wolf crosses the road alone in a scene near the end whilst vincent and max r in the cab. The wolf is symbolic of the random situation where vincent is a predator like the wolf, therefore vincent has the grey in his facial and normal hair, also his greyish suit-to look like the predator/hunting wolf alone in a big city
I can’t get past that fabulously phoney gray hair.
It’s looks like an eighth grader playing the Stage
Manager in Our Town.
A good movie. It takes awhile to get that way, but once Cruise drops the two muggers in the alley in the blink of an eye, we are convinced that this guy is a one-man killing machine. If there’s any doubt, he single-handedly kills his way through a crowded nightclub full of thugs and feds to nail his next to last mark, then walks away as one of the patrons. This cat is cool, one lethal, ruthless mutha who gives no quarter to anyone, except to the “accomplice” hostage cabbie that for some reason he’s taken a liking to. Ironically, his one indulgence in human emotion ends up costing him everything, that instant of hesitation when its one or the other who will survive. One of Cruise’s best roles. “Eyes Wide Shut” was another. Love him or hate him, the guy is a good actor and he fills the shoes of action hero very convincingly. He’s as lethal as James Bond in this movie. What the hell difference does it make what color his hair is? Sheesh.
no, if cruise was attempting to immitate any performance it would be the DENZEL’s Alonzo character from training day that …hmmm …finally won him the academy award for best actor. either way i cant way for this film. it looks awesome. better than training day imo.
Nah, Cruise has already proven his range with films like Magnolia. And from what I’ve read his character in this one is not at all a nice guy. They’re not doing the killer with a heart of gold thing here …
Has anybody else thought that this is Cruise’s attempt to pull off what Tom Hanks did in Road to Perdition? Let me show my range, by playing a killer who is really a nice guy. Not saying that anything is wrong with that, but interesting. I suppose if you are going to copy somebody Hanks is probably a pretty good choice.
If you want specifics, it was filmed with a Viper FilmStream camera at 29.97
Hmm, looking at the Trailer, it looks like it was shot in Digital / 30 FPS…
