Collateral

For the second time this week I watched 'Collateral'. Not sure why, nothing exceptional about the movie and yes it is not because of Jada Pinkett (though she is cute as always - since the days of Jason's Lyrics)

Max (Jamie Foxx) is described as living a mundane life as a cabbie - unimaginative or just ordinary - for 12 years (!). The worrying part is he still got this dream of one day owning a fleet of limos for hire. That is how time flies I guess holding on to a dream that others would not understand.

Quotes:
Annie (Jada): Well how many cabbies do you know get you into an argument to save money?Max: If there were two of us I'd have to kill the other one. I don't like competition

The first time Max realises that he is carrying an assassin:

Vincent (T. Cruise): Max, 6Bn people on the planet, you're getting bent out of shape cause of one fat guy?M: Well, who was he?
V: What do I care? Have ever heard of Rwanda?
M: Yes, I know Rwanda.
V: Well, tens of thousands killed before sundown. Nobody's killed people that fast since Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Did you bat an eye, Max? Did you join Amnesty International, Oxfam, Save the Whales, Greenpeace, or something? No. I off one fat Angelino and you throw a hissy fit.
M: Man I don't know any Rwandans.
V: You don't know that guy in the trunk either.

I liked it
