Dawn of the Geeks

An excellent movie. Jamie Foxx plays a cab driver (Max) with big dreams who’s been temporarily driving a cab for 12 years to get everything in order for his new business. Tom Cruise plays a hitman (Vincent) hired by a crime boss to take out a list of people who are set to testify againt the criminal group. Vincent gets in Max’s cab and pays him a lot of money to be his personal driver for the night. At the first hit something goes wrong and now Max can’t be unaware of what his client is doing. Who knew Foxx could play a serious role. The entire movie is well paced and engrossing. The twists and turns will keep you from guessing what happens next all the way to the end. It’s rated R purely for the violence and language. My only complaint is the blatent Bacardi Silver ads. The two will be driving to the next location and the camera will pan up to ad on top of the taxi and hold for a bit. But, it is one of the few movies that can have an extended period of time with no dialog and still hold your interest.
