No one directs LA at night like Michael Mann - all shimmering neon lights and empty roads. Tom Cruise is actually quite convincing as a killer - more so, perhaps, than Jamie Foxx.
It's the support roles here which are stronger - Mark Ruffalo as a pony tailed cop and that fat black dude as a victim.
Solid, intelligent script - though at the ending it can't help itself and turns Jamie Foxx into an all-conquering superhero. Also it's too much of a coincidence to have Jada Pinkett Smith being in Foxx's cab then turn out to be a key player in the drama.
