Not to nitpick, but he was actually talking about LA. It went along with what he was talking about, but I felt it was a little anticlimactic that the villain dies. I mean, Foxx's character was a taxi cab driver, not a cop. He had no experience with guns and was acting off adrenaline. Cruise was a trained killer. Foxx would have gotten smoked clean and made the 11 o' clock news.
That's like saying no offense and then saying something offensive. Anyway, I saw it once and figured it was a coinflip.
