Collateral 2004 Trailer
The trailer is effective as it uses cuts appropriatley to fit the genre, so they are quite fast paced.
In the beginning Max Durocher (Jamie Foxx) meets a U.S Justice Department prosecutor Annie Farrel (Jada Pinkett Smith) whilst driving her to her office in his Taxi. She offers to tip him but he refuses and tells her that she should keep the money and tells her to buy herself something special. Taking a liking to Max she decides to give him her business card.
As she departs his next passanger, Vincent (Tom Cruise) enters the cab offering Max $600 for chauffering him to five appointments and waitng for him after each appointment. Max drives him to his first appointment as he waites Vincenr entees an apartment complex and shoots drug dealer Ramón Ayala. He then unexpecedly falls out of the window an directly onto the taxi which forces Vincent to reveal himself as a hitman. Max is then forced to hide the the body of guy in the trunk, clean up the car and then contine with their arrangement.
Tension is built when max plled over by the police due to the damage to the taxi from the impact of
Ramón Ayala, but luckily the police are called to a higher priority call so do nt investigate and Max and Vincent get away with a licky escape.
This clip creates tension as the audience know that there is a dead body in the boot. It creates the question if they will be caught or not. The viewer also feels sorry for the character Max as he had been dragged into driving around a guy who is commiting murders.
This clip tells us more about the character Vincent as manages to come across as completely normal even though he casually goes around murdering people.
