Bad character development
This movie had poor character development, resulting in a lack of interest for the viewers in the outcome of the story. Tom Cruise is a great actor, and he is the only thing that saves this movie. The ending chase scene is pretty good, but it's hard to care about the characters.

Michael Mann's latest thriller seems more of a recollection of his past successes, rather than anything new. Given the premise, and the director, one would expect an edgy, well-shot, and most importantly original work. Sadly, what starts as an electrifying, suspenseful film begins losing speed at the halfway point, and by the end feels like it is lurching to a finish in the most formulaic of manners.
You can't blame Cruise and Fox for the lack of intensity in their acting, because despite their best efforts, the dialogue they're given is far too contrived and often wildly out of place. The juxtaposition between Vincent's threats of death in order to retain Max as his personal chauffeur for the night and his seemingly legitimate concern for the well-being of his driver just doesn't work. There's no middle ground between the two, and without it and any kind of motivation for the alternation between those modes, the screenplay can seem downright schizophrenic.

solid crime thriller
Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx are great here, both play non-typical roles and they are very convincing. The movie is really suspenseful and it's Michael Mann's best along with Heat.
