Jonathan Demme's highly-acclaimed Best Picture-winning horror/thriller Silence of the Lambs (1991) pitted young FBI agent/trainee Jodie Foster in psychological warfare against a cannibalistic psychiatrist named Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), while tracking down transgender serial killer Buffalo Bill. And Jan De Bont's combination action/thriller Speed (1994) perfectly captured the heart-stopping suspense aboard a Los Angeles city bus threatened by a mad bomber (Dennis Hopper). In Michael Mann's and DreamWorks' gritty Collateral (2004), Tom Cruise plays a taxi-riding hit man and Jamie Foxx as the cabbie.

Director David Fincher's dark, stylish thriller ranks as one of the decade's most influential box-office successes. Set in a hellish vision of a New York-like city, where it is always raining and the air crackles with impending death, the film concerns Det. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a homicide specialist just one week from a well-deserved retirement. Every minute of his 32 years on the job is evident in Somerset's worn, exhausted face, and his soul aches with the pain that can only come from having seen and felt far too much. But Somerset's retirement must wait for one last case, for which he is teamed with young hotshot David Mills (Brad Pitt), the fiery detective set to replace him at the end of the week. Mills has talked his reluctant wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow), into moving to the big city so that he can tackle important cases, but his first and Somerset's last are more than either man has bargained for.
