Vindication for Neo-Noir

I entered into a conversation earlier this year about a flick called "Collateral." My longtime friend and associate, Chet, insisted that my enjoyment of this film was less than intelligent as the film has huge holes in it, etc. I insisted that, in spite of said holes, the film is a really good ride, and that only in retrospect do the holes present a problem; during the ride, however, they are of little consequence.

Well according to these fellers,

"Collateral" is one of the top ten american films of the year. Yay me!

From the website: "You're a malevolent mastermind bent on achieving global domination through the construction of the ultimate doomsday device. Build a secret base, gain notoriety by completing daring missions, repel the forces of justice in real-time combat, and develop evil super-weapons to complete your nefarious master plan."

Only this time, just kill the good guy and get it over with, will you?
