A important film told masterfully. There’s a constant drumbeat you’ll hear in just about every scene in the first two thirds to constantly build tension and give you a sense of looming dread as this innocent family gets decimated. But having read the book prior to watching this film, I couldn’t help but feel that there was still too much left unsaid even with the lengthy run time. There’s an undertone of sadness and evil throughout the first half of the film that never fully resolves, perhaps to mirror the losses that will never see justice.

Collateral 2004
Oh my GOD this movie is so good. Every single time something happened it was either a “oh I didn’t know we were doing THAT” or a “how did they think of THIS?” moment for me. Never lets up and some amazing set pieces that I can’t wait to revisit. And we got some top tier Tom Cruise running scenes.

I was inspired by Karsten’s Monkey Mondays and wanted to start my own challenge this year of watching a new musical every Monday. Starting it off with the best one.
