Collateral is a crime thriller film staring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. It is directed by Michael Mann and written by Stuart Beattie. The film is set in Los Angles and the main story behind it is a taxi driver called Max (Jamie Foxx) having his everyday life changed when he meets a girl he grows close too. Meanwhile and a hitman called Vincent (Tom Cruise) gets into the taxi and commands him to help with his dirty work, only then to find out one of the targets is the girl who he then has to save.
The first scene which i found quite suspenseful was the scene where in one of Vincents hitman missions he tells Max to hide the body in the boot of his taxi, only then to be pulled over by the police who nearly takes a look into the boot but does'nt, by using camera shots to show facial emotions also builds tension and suspense.
The second scene which i found quite suspenseful was the scene where the girl Max likes is getting stalked by Vincent and he shuts off the power, Max races to save the girl and successfully does, by using tense non diegetic sound it creates a tense suspenseful scene.
The third and final scene which I thought was suspenseful was the scene where Max and the girl are being pursuited by Vincent who jumps on the train and later confronts the two with a gun, by again using camera shots to show vincents angry facial expressions also creates suspense.
