Even better than sequel

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 2017)

Again, loved watching this movie because of Tom Cruise. In his latter years, he has found his defining role.
The movie itself is nebulous: Is it a statement movie about the evils of corporate greed? Is it a statement movie about the stresses of military life? Or is it simply a 2 hour+ Most Interesting Man in the World commercial? Hard to say, but ultimately does it matter... Filmed in Pittsburgh, we have seen much of this before: a car chase, yes but a very good car chase! Corruption, international villains? Check and check, ultimately a one man lethal weapon film.
Impeccably cast, well choreographed fight scenes, and the director even manages to add some slapstick into one of the many violent confrontations. It would not be a reach to say I would like to see them make a couple more of these movies!
