OMG! This is THE most under-rated, under-marketed movie ever! 2 old guys with blockbuster flawless convincing performances (thank you Sirs) + a fabulous, sexy, exhilarating performance by the soon to be "A-list" youngsters, and I NEVER HEARD A WORD ABOUT THIS MOVIE UNTIL I WATCHED IT! SHAME! WATCH!!! Think about what you would be willing to do for love while you watch this, and how many times it might all become nevermore! Thrilling! I would have rated this as a 10 if it had been marketed and put out there in mass media! Shame!!! All of the negative reviews seem to be from those who are enthralled by names, not substance, and missed the point of the reality for these characters. Woo hoo, "autobahn, Hopkins, Kingsley," but stopped at the name, and did not see the depth and the substance. Listen, don't watch, or at least don't review movies if characters who risk everything don't move you! Seriously, you feckless putz, what have you ever risked for anything?!? Yeah, right, I thought so!!!

"Collide" succeeds because it does not pretend to be anything more than it is on the surface: a fast-paced thriller with a campy sound score, well-developed characters, and some sly humor.The film's subtitle is "How Far Would You Go For the One You Love?" That monosyllabic cliché fits perfectly with the schmaltz of the characters, a young American hustler (Nicholas Hoult) and a beautiful American blonde (Felicity Jones), who are both expatriates residing in Germany.The two villains are perfectly matched with the urbane cutthroat businessman-drug lord (Anthony Hopkins) and the uncouth middleman Geran (Ben Kingsley). The snooty Hopkins character Hagen quotes Shakespeare and snobbishly looks down on his underlings. By contrast, Kingsley is an insecure social climber more interested in status than wealth.The two young lovers are caught up in the daring gambit of the heist of a truck carrying golf balls filled with cocaine. Casey Stein, the hustler who falls in love with Juliette, who needs a kidney transplant, proves himself capable of escaping from the clutches of both Hagen and Geran.As the film wears on through the fast-paced action sequences, it is impossible not to root for Casey and Juliette to defy the odds and turn the tables on the Shakespearean line quoted by Hagen: "Never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." For a couple of mushy hours of an action film, however, it does appear as though love conquers all!

For the first thirty or so minutes of "Collide", the movie was shaping up to be a pretty boring and familiar experience for me. The movie was taking far too much time to set up the situation, and what was unfolding was nothing I hadn't seen before in many other movies.But then after those first thirty minutes, the movie takes a sudden turn and becomes surprisingly enjoyable. All of a sudden the movie starts delivering action and suspense, and this material is pretty well accomplished. It is basically one scene after another of the protagonist fighting off and/or fleeing his pursuers, but I have to admit that the action is choreographed and directed in a way that I was pretty pumped up. The movie also looks quite eye-catching, with its good photography and its German backdrop that adds some freshness. Eventually, however, the movie makes a stumble near the very end, with how Anthony Hopkins' drug lord character is finally dealt with, namely in a manner that happens off-screen, cheating the viewer of seeing him directly getting his just desserts. Despite this disappointing ending, and the first drab thirty minutes, I think the movie does deliver enough entertainment in the end. It's not a classic action movie by any means because of those aforementioned problems, but it keeps your attention if you stick with it.

It's one of those films with aimless narration. Indeed, it has a nice cast and characters with the basic storyline, but that did not expand and explored well as it should have been. At least the pace of the narration looked fine. Some characters looked unnecessary, and so a couple of scenes. If these all were managed, then still it could have been a decent film. Because since it is an action- adventure, they did not generate those crucial parts like the stunts and dialogues related to the gangster thing to turn it a better film in its kind.The two veteran actors coming together for the first time added more curiosity than flavour we are looking for. They did okay and so the rest of the cast. Ideal runtime, a few stuffs were in the favour of the film, but those were not enough for the overall success. If the same film was made from the non-English world like perhaps Germany, which was one of the producers of the film would have done better than this existing one which is very familiar with this language.People would watch it only for Hopkins and Kingley and so did am I. But they might end in disappointment, or that could be the reason to rate it fairly better. Whatever, this is an okay film, which is barely entertaining and of all, not a boring film. So trying it for one is okay, but I think not worth if you have got plenty of options over this one.6/10
