Hitch a ride to come and see FilmWeek’s screening of Michael Mann’s 2004 neo-noir thriller Collateral at The Frida Cinema! And stick around after the screening as host Larry Mantle welcomes special guests (TBA) to discuss the film’s lasting impact!
Collateral follows a Los Angeles taxi driver, Max (Jamie Foxx), who unwittingly picks up a cold-blooded contract killer, Vincent (Tom Cruise). Over the course of a single night, Max is taken hostage and forced to drive Vincent to multiple stops to assassinate targets connected to a federal drug cartel. As the night unfolds, Max attempts to break free, ultimately turning the tables on his captor to protect the final witness.
The film was a critical and box office success, reaching the top spot in its opening weekend and earning Academy Award nominations for Best Film Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Jamie Foxx’s performance as Max.
