I've seen this movie, it's absolutley solid, like the recent version of Battlestar Galactica, it takes the charm of the original series out and keeps the basic concepts, resulting in a modern contemporary portrayal of Miami and the characters the way they should have been

I saw it and loved it. Mind you I've never seen the TV show, so that might be why. Solid acting, solid writing, and probably the most gorgeous cinematography I've ever seen. It's amazing what Mann can do with the HD digital.

One of the best movies I've seen so far this year.

I really, really liked the directing in "Colallateral". Count me in for this one (when it hits German screens that is ).

I saw the movie and I enjoyed it very much. Can't really say much that cqb didn't already say.

I'm glad it beat Pirates as well...I hated that thing.
