Collateral (2004)

Cab driver Max (Jamie Foxx) gets more than he bargained for when he agrees to shuttle around hit-man Vincent (Tom Cruise) for one night in Los Angeles.

There are upsides and downsides to hanging out with a sociopath. On the upside, he will take you to hip jazz bars and Korean dance clubs that you never would have gone to on your own. He'll also help you to stand up to that boss that's been giving you nothing but grief and will even buy flowers for your sick mother. And when things get out of control, he has your back. But then again he's probably the reason things got out of hand in the first place. Oh and heaven help you if you ever try to get between him and his intended target. He does not care if she's the woman you just met earlier that day and formed a strong bond with. "Bros before hoes" does not apply when a sociopath is involved. But I guess if can stand up to him and survive, you're pretty certain to get the girl. So the next time a sociopath enters your life, please keep all of these points in mind.
