Mission: Impossible II (2000)
(M: I-2)
Country: US/GER
Technical: DeLuxe/scope 123m
Director: John Woo
Cast: Tom Cruise, Dougray Scott, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames, Richard Roxburgh, Brendan Gleeson, Anthony Hopkins
Synopsis:
Ethan Hunt is sent after a deadly virus and its antidote, about to be marketed by a former colleague gone bad. Furthermore he must use the latter's ex, for whom he has fallen, as bait.
Review:
Onto a paper thin plot are hung a few conventional suspense sequences and a couple of showdowns in the director's customarily ostentatious manner. It doesn't help that the one memorable bit is an irrelevant pre-credit showing the lead character training in the Grand Canyon, but there are compensations for aficionados of glossy visuals and slow-mo action.
