Quit stalling. Get out of the cab. Vincent : You Like Jazz? Sign In. Collateral Showing all 79 items. Jump to: Photos 37 Quotes Create a list ». DRAX's movie list. Movies watchlist. Crime Movies. Mark Ruffalo Movies I've Seen. Killing Max before Vincent completes his tour could therefore seriously disrupt Vincent's schedule, so he has to take care that Max keeps doing his normal routine, and not kill him before the end.
If the story that Fanning tells of the cab driver who went crazy and shot a bunch of people and then himself was actually Vincent on a previous mission, the most likely answer would be yes.
The contradicting evidence is that Vincent says numerous times about what Max should do 'when' the night is over. But Vincent is a trained killer, he would know that giving Max hope by talking in such a way that would suggest that Vincent would let him live, would keep Max from doing anything stupid.
Vincent has shown that he is perfectly capable of ruthlessly killing a person with whom he just had a drink and a pleasant conversation, so he may not even feel disconcerted in the slightest way by the idea of killing Max. However, the banter between the two of them could have shown Vincent that Max was a human being, and Vincent felt a connection to him and didn't want to kill him. At the very least it's likely that's what caused Vincent to hesitate when they were facing off on the train and allow Max to get the first shot off.
Not to mention the fact that had Vincent truly wanted to kill Max at the end, he still had time to pick up his extra mag, reload and shoot Max. But instead he accepted that Max had beat him, sat down and had one last friendly chat with Max until he died. When Max sees Vincent kill the two men that stole his wallet and Vincent's briefcase after Vincent handcuffs Max to his steering wheel to incapacitate him while he performs his second hit of the night, Max lowers his head in despair and says "fuck!
On first glance it appears that it upsets Max to see a man murder two others with such ruthless efficiency and disregard in front of him, even if they are the ones who stole his wallet at gunpoint. However, a second reason might be that Max was hoping that the muggers would kill Vincent so Max could be free, but when Vincent turns the tables on the two muggers and kills them with ease, Max knows that he is in it for the long-haul.
Though the most likely explanation is that Max, an average-Joe cab driver just saw two people murdered right in front of him, also because Max is the one that drew them to the car, he may have felt partially responsible for their deaths.
Remember that Vincent says when they are getting gas "If you draw attention to yourself, you're going to get people killed who don't need to be. The obvious reason would be that Vincent didn't know that Felix ordered hitmen to kill him if anything went wrong at Club Fever.
Vincent didn't know the difference between Felix's hitmen and Lim's guards. He assumed that they were all Lim's guards, and therefore they must all be eliminated for him to kill Lim and move on to the last hit of the night.
Also, Vincent may have assumed the Mexican hitmen weren't Lim's guards as Lim and all his crew were Asian which is why Vincent sent Max in to pose as him in the first place. Vincent knew that Felix probably wouldn't be too happy that he lost the list and may want to kill Vincent.
So had Felix's men killed Max in the club, Vincent wouldn't have the list so he'd likely just leave town. But if Max succeeded in getting the list which he did and Max was killed by Felix's hitmen, Vincent still had the list and would complete the job as his reputation was on the line.
Felix would realize he killed the wrong man, but the real Vincent followed through on his assignment, thus keeping his reputation and his anonymity intact. Just a great movie with great acting. Cruise was great in this movie, I get the impression that audiences don't seem to accept him as the bad guy even though he plays bad guys so well. Re: digital photography - I vaguely remember that much of this movie was shot on 35mm, although the night-time exteriors were shot digitally and Mann had experimented with digital on his earlier 'Ali'.
Mann nailed it with this one. Great film. Either way the dynamic is fantastic. Skip to main content. No Film School. By Phil Pirrello.
