Mission Impossible 2 or Tom Cruise's Fancy Ass 2 I saw the first Mission Impossible directed by Brian De Palma, and even though most didn't like that one due to a confusing plot, I found it to be quite a cinematic trip. There wasn't much action in the first one, and there isn't any action sequences at all in the first hour of the sequel directed by John Woo. Woo has brought us "Face Off" and "Broken Arrow," and a slew of Asian action flicks in the past. Woo was good with those, but not here. The saying "give a monkey a brain and he will think he is the center of the universe" is Tom Cruise's motto for this flick. Now I admire Tom Cruise. He's not a sell-out (watch out for the edge there Tom), but Tom Cruise wake up!! You're not screwing that chick while you're parents are out of town still!! You're an old-dude. The story is stolen right out of a Alfred Hitchcock flick ("Notorious" if I do recall) and when the action comes, it's sloppy and nothing that we didn't see in the 2 hour commercial called "The Matrix" (hit me with your best shot). Anthony Hopkins and the body known as Thandie Newton are put to waste here, as well as Ving Rhames (fuck pride!!). Tom Cruise, John Woo, what happened? I know you don't need the damn money. |
