Would have been better...

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2000)

Great performances by Travolta and Cage. Good premise pulled off neatly in a new, original way. But all the gunfire and explosions kind of got in the way of the story. As we exited the theater, my friend Jack said, "It was good--but it would have been better if it hadn't been an 'action movie'." I'm disappointed to hear the Woo is making M:I2 as an action movie, but I'll probably go see it anyway.
