I realised yesterday, that I have never seen a film with the Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx in. So, since I was babysitting and had some time on my hands, I watched Collateral and Miami Vice: both films with Jamie Foxx, both action films, both films directed by Michael Mann.
In Collateral, Jamie Foxx plays a dull taxi driver who ends up with a hitman (Tom Cruise) in his car who he's forced to drive round to each target's house. Some scenes are a bit slow and it can get a bit tedious, but the ending scene is way tense. It was so thrilling that I stopped texting and became properly engaged in the action onscreen.

Foxx's character in Miami Vice is a lot cooler - he plays a cop named Ricardo Tubbs. Tubbs and his partner Sonny Crocket (Colin Farrell) go undercover to help take down drugs traffickers from the inside. But Crocket gets a bit too involved and things get messy...
I enjoyed this more than Collateral, partly due to the storyline, but mainly because it is more visually stimulating and the scenes are more action packed (it helps that the music is great too). However I will admit to being a tad confused by the plot at times :S
