IT'AN ACTION FILM, NOT A DRAMA

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2000)

Despite the most popular reviews on the net about this film the facts.
1. It's an action flick; the story is second priority.
2. It's good.
Tom Cruise was superb; Dougray Scott was superb and even Ving Rhames, as small as his part was. Thandie Newton's acting was impressive though I did not like her character. What I mean is what's going to happen, romance does not have much of a place in an action film and it would ridiculous if a Mission Impossible 3 is made and Ethan and Nyah are build on a relationship, or if Ethan has a different girl friend in each film like James Bond. I hope there is a part three to complete the trilogy, but I certainly would not like to see either of the above. In conclusion M:I 2 is worth seeing, John Woo's directing is as always first rate and Cruise did all his own stunts, which is something to be admired these days.
