Still think it odd that Foxx was given a Golden Globes' Supporting Actor nomination for that film. I suspect it was Tom Cruise's star power that blinded the Foreign Press boys to the fact that Cruise wasn't playing the main character here.

A short rant/philosophizing about two thirds of the way through by Cruise's character. It took him a bit out of the hit man role, and sounded like a script writer playing psychologist badly. Otherwise, Cruise was very effective and understated in the role.
Foxx's character in the den of the Drug Lord outwitting/out psyching professional hoods with nothing but BS behind him.
I'll "me too" Foxx as the "main character."
