Good special effects can't even make this piece of trash watchable

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2003)

Another Hollywoodized to the max, way over done spy thriller. This one, as you all know is a remake of a popular 50's tv show. Cheesy Tom Cruise hams his way through this movie, like he does in most of his other movies. There are a few good scenes were the special effects are extraordinary, but they cannnot make this movie worthwhile. Jean Reno irritates me, possibly because he has made so many other bad movies(Rollerball, The Professional, Ronin). Ving Rhames is kinda cool in a very small role as another agent. Overall, just another boring, poorly acted attempt at a good movie. Skip it, unless you are a huge action buff. ** out of *****.
