I am not particularly thrilled at the prospect of watching this film. I usually don't read reviews until after I watch a movie but I read yours and it doesn't paint a pretty picture. Moreover, I did not find Collateral as appealing as others did. A Mann pic though, always has some scenes that just have to be seen. And even though it seems Miami doesn't quite become a character, I'm bound to have a unique perspective if only because it's set in my city.
