Since the DVD release date was Tuesday last week in the U.S, I've seen it and will give my lil review on it. You can disagree or say what you'd like. :P

The movie was about 100 minutes long, starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx (AND Jada Pinkett Smith, which the media forgot to mention. Perhaps it's because of her brief roles.).

Tom Cruise plays a very cold. but tactical hitman who gets paid large sums of money; his name is Vincent. Jamie Foxx is the accomplice to the murderous man, transporting him from one place to another via a polished Taxi.

But what I think is great about this movie is the dialogue. Every scene seems to be constructed so creatively with words and it makes you want to see some vigorous action afterwards. Not sure, maybe it's Tom Cruise's coolness in the movie that sets that cool aura around it.

As far as music goes, I can say I don't have any problems with it. I'm not a fan of that rock music/chinese techno stuff, but I can say it blended in perfectly with the scenes, making it more enjoyable for myself.

I really wish I saw it at the theaters. IF I could add one thing to this movie, I'd add a little more action. But I think the suspense plays as "pseudo-action" in this movie. Go figure.. see it for yourself!

My rating... a very generous 9.5/10

No sex scenes, so you can cross that out of your list of bad things that may ruin the movie! ;)
