Collateral By Michael Mann
By Amy Nicole Fitzpatrick
Collateral is a crime thriller made in 2004 staring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. The Film was directed by Michael Mann and written by Stuart Beattie. Throughout the Film there were many suspenseful moments.
The First scene i found suspenseful was when Vincent and Max are both in the taxi cab driving, where they get pulled over by police. The police officers want Max to step out of the Taxi, meanwhile also wanting to search the vehicle. What makes this scene suspenseful is that there is a dead body in the boot in the car, from the first man who Vincent (the antagonist) just killed. This scene builds tension as the audience wait to see whether the police will find the dead body in the trunk. Lucky however, the officers get called to the crime scene, and Max is left to drive on.
Another example of a suspenseful scene is when Vincent walks into Annie's Room To Shoot her. Heightening music also helps to build tension and suspense in the scene, as the viewer doesn't know whether Vincent is going to find Annie and shoot her. Lucky however, Annie is not at her desk, and gets a way for a period. This Scene, and the Rest of The movie are the most suspenseful and eventful parts, as the audience is constantly on the edge of their seat, hoping
Max (Protagonist) and Annie get away before Vincent shoots them.
The Chase Scene on the train causes us to worry for Max and Annie, however when Vincent runs out of bullets, even more tension is created as we wait to see whether Max takes the opportunity to shoot Vincent.
This Film is a very good example of a thriller, as it features all key aspects a thriller needs, primarily suspense.
