analysis of 'colateral' crime thriller




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5M_Ttstbgs
taken from IMDB:
"A cab driver finds himself the hostage of an engaging contract killer as he makes his rounds from hit to hit during one night in LA. He must find a way to save both himself and one last victim"


the cinematography of collateral is its strongest element. it uses a lot of point of interest shots (for instance the coyote scene) which imply more than they seem and makes good use of the night to create a dark and dreamy atmosphere. the music also plays and integral part of telling the story and always its in with the action on screen. there is also very little orchestrated music, most of the music being mainstream music such as audioslave and groove armada.
