Catch these gripping movies before they're gone ⌛
, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Tom Cruise can only play action heroes. But in Collateral, director Michael Mann's underappreciated neo-noir thriller, the actor ditches his usual Hollywood charm for the uncomfortable menace of a ruthless assassin.
Cruise plays Vincent, a silver-haired hitman who gets more than he bargains for when he decides to take a Los Angeles cab driver, Max , hostage for an evening of location-hopping 'work'. Heat is widely considered by many to be Mann’s best movie – but with Collateral, the director returned to the same stylized grit for which his 1995 masterpiece was so celebrated. Come for Cruise’s silver hairdo, stay for the film’s frenetic nightclub shootout and ultra-tense jazz discussion.
The Hurt Locker stars Marvel regulars Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie alongside the likes of Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce, and the film was recently selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry for being"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Yes, it's really that good – and it’s as pulse-pounding as thrillers come.
