several neglects of the director?

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2000)

The beginning, Ethan tried to recover the disc that contains the NOC list. We shall ask, if they were expecting someone to steal the list, and trying to get photo evidence of the stealing, then it would not make any difference if the NOC list is not the real one. Why didn't Ethan and his team put a decoy list on the computer so they didn't have to follow the guy who they thought to be the traitor?
The laser beams above the cult in CIA were not supposed to be visible. If you have a laser pointer, turn it on, and point somewhere, you wouldn't see the path of the light. Besides, why would CIA make it so obvious?
The connection between the finding of the Bible and the realization of the bad guy was not well presented.
Overall, I give a six out of ten to the movie.
