Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

I love Mann's work and I've always wondered what the deal with Collateral was; now that I know he didn't have anything to do with the script and story it makes a lot more sense. That movie is excellent but about thirty minutes too long -- if it ended immediately after Max flips and crashes the cab without the whole unnecessary action hero turn for the character it would have been great. It felt like the actual story and conflict was over at that point with the protagonist coming out of it as a changed man and yadda yadda yadda but for some reason we had to add a pure Hollywood 'this time it's personal' ending and set up the climactic ridiculous shootout.
